Welcome dear Muffin from Victoria !!!! my last visit to Victoria was May 2012 as an advocate with the CDA and the ASK for insulin pumps for those over 19 at the Legislative Building ...as you probably know , BC Pharmacare does not supply yet ...more work needs to be done .My next visit to Victoria will be in September attending a Jamboree ....maybe you end up in the Shuswap , after the snow has melted ? ...please let me know , if you like to say HI ...all the best for now

Hello! Thank you for having me as a friend Muffin!!
B.C.....so far away, but it feels like you're right here! That's one of the appealing factors of tu.diabetes. I'm in southwestern Ontario...a city named Kitchener-Waterloo. I'm a wife of 33 years (hubby is also diabetic), mom to two grown children (one 28, the other 26), a grandma to 3 lovable little boys (and one little bundle on the way...due in June!), a teacher, and before that an illustrator (still do some) and graphic designer. I speak French fluently, I read, history fascinates me, I paint, sing, walk, garden, ski, ride my bike....did I mention "read"? I love having friends over, I bake/cook, am an eclectic music lover, an animal lover...the ocean...ah the ocean...it speaks to me! Oh...and I have diabetes (and a few other things).
Nice to have you as a friend!!! Tell me a bit about yourself and keep in touch, ok?
hugs....linda

We're so happy that you're finally here!
