A recent chat discussion about the advancement of diabetes management technology lead to me posting about Dean Kamen.

Who? Well, the inventor of the Segway.

But! Before you roll your eyes and walk away, there's more to him than that. A lot more.

He's the guy behind DEKA Research - an organization that does SCIENCE and in a big way.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Luv those little horns Adrian ;p
Hello! Thank you for having me as a friend!!!
Vancouver....so far away, but it feels like you're right here! That's one of the appeals of tu.diabetes. I'm southwestern Ontario...and originally from Québec. 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, a teacher, and before that an illustrator (still do some) and graphic designer....I speak French fluently, I read, history fascinates me, I paint, ski (do you ski?), ride my bike....did I mention "read"? I'm 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).
Tell me a bit about yourself!
Keep in touch, ok?
linda
