My heart breaks when I hear Mums say how they have been told they shouldn't have fed their Diabetic toddlers so much sugar or bad food to make them 'get' it. Or that they shouldn't…See More

- Hoi ( correct Dutch word ??) Unicornz...I arrived in Canada summer 1963 as a 23 year old .
My cousin in Spaarndam by Haarlem passed away in April ( 49 ) ...Not many relatives left and don't have much contact with them .He was here summer 2010, his twin brother lives in BC ; I visited the Netherlands spring 2010 ...a class reunion during this time .My page has some pictures of this event .
I got my Veo in Feb .; I have been pumping since 2001 ...and still learning and at times getting frustrated about my numbers ...but I will survive ( another 15 years at least ...I promise .)
Are you with family in England ?
I did 4 months au-pair work in Eastbourne ...in 1960 ...that feels like a long time ago :)
Be well and stay well ...N.
