Day 1: Health Time Capsule


If I was to create a Health time capsule today, to be opened in 100 years time, I would include:
  • A blood meter, insulin pen, blood strip, needle top and finger pricker – as an example of the diabetes equipment I am using today
  • Some personal information on myself such as a photo, blog entry, family tree etc – to help give personality to the items
  • A news article or health science magazine about general break throughs happening now and expected in the near future – so they can see how far humanity has really come
  • Floss – it will always be essential! It can come in handy for so many things as well as your pearly whites – You wouldn’t believe the amount of times having floss in my hand bag has saved me.
  • A good lock of my hair – you never know, they might be able to re-create me…just need to consider if I’d actually want that to happen though!!!
Aside from the physical items one might see in my capsule in 100 years, my biggest hope is that they open a memory. A memory of time where diabetes used to affect thousands the world over, everyday. A memory of a disease that no longer exists.

What would you put in yours?
