About Me:
I am a quirky weird creative person. I used to be hairdresser until I hurt my back at work, went to the hospital and then was hit by a car while leaving the hospital. It was a bad day.
Now I work as Communications Coordinator for a Media Arts organization. I really believe that things happen as they should.
I love books and old typewriters and poetry and my cat and birds and bones and thrift stores and fine-point pens and sewing and libraries and my bike and yoga and vegetables and thesauri.

Manny Hernandez said… - HI Vanessa,
Welcome to the TuDiabetes family.
We have two things in common... three:
1) I love Vancouver!
2) I run a nonprofit, the Diabetes Hands Foundation, that runs TuDiabetes.
3) I am on a Minimed pump too.
That is one of the things about the community: you find lots and lots of people just like you.
To help you with this, I recommend you click on the Groups link at the top and search for the Canada group (we should start creating a West Canada group soon, since we are getting so many folks from BC, like Toni was pointing out before me) and also search for the Pumping Our Insulin and the Minimed groups. These groups have several hundred members that have something in common with you.
Hope you find ALL the support and info you came looking for and WELCOME to regaining the control of your life with diabetes, Vanessa!

Toni Crebbin said… - Hey Vanessa, I just welcomed another new member from Vancouver. There seems to be quite a few from BC on here. You should search the groups and find out if there's one from your area. I'm from just south of you in Washington state. I think you'll find this a very supportive site:)

Marie B said… - hi Vanessa. I've had it for 41 years and it's been kicking me around a lot lately. TuD has helped me cope and accept. Here's a good discussion we had about how to get yourself back on track.
I'm glad you decided to join us. We are here for support, not to blame or shame.
