T1 mom replied to T1 mom's discussion 'CGM for Animas users in Canada?' in the group Animas Insulin Pump Users"Yes it sure sounds like the vibe is what we want!"
"My understanding is that the Animas Vibe was submitted to Health Canada a while ago and they are waiting for approval. So the Animas Vibe could be approved tomorrow or next year. It is frustrating... I have a son who has been T1 for 7 years, so I…"

Everyone here is supportive and will provide answers to your questions. Search the site for answers. Read the discussions and blogs for information. There are videos to help you understand diabetes and its treatment. Most of all there is family to talk to and vent to, if needed.
