Anna Kiff, Pierrefonds Quebec
| I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes back in 1968. I never really thought much about having diabetes – as it’s been with me so long. I don’t know of any other way of living and in a way think it’s made me a better person.Back in Oct 2008 I decided to give insulin pumping a try and since then my life has blossomed into so much more since I started to relearn how to be a diabetic after 40 years of MDI (multiple doseage injections). I am currently a diabetic mentor at Diabetes1.org – helping educate others on diabetes along with many other members in various D-OC (diabetes online community) around our big blue marble. Just look for FatCatAnna and you’ll find me poking my nose into anything to do with diabetes – and helping others learn how to lead a better life. My mug shot was even featured in a prominant d-bloggers (Ninjabetic – George Simmons) video on his celebration of his 20th D-anniversary (something I’ve never thought of doing – but may give it a go – after attending a friends D-anniversary next month – wonder if sugar enriched cake will be be served?). |
