Words by: Chloe Vance | Photos by: Mike Last I can still call on vivid memories from the very first Slipstream. The people, excitement, conversations and revelations – feeling oddly jazzed about having diabetes. I can still sense the feeling of heading in from the crisp cold to a warm crackling fire and buzz of [...]

Chloe and Jen introduce CIM’s NEW Diabetes Trail Mix Vlog to the Slipstream Crew and pose the 1st weekly question: What are you looking to add to YOUR diabetes backpack?
On April 16th, we held our first Connected in Motion community event in the Moncton Area. We had nine T1′s, and four 5.5er’s show up for a spring hike on the Dobson Trail. We had mostly pumpers there, with at least MDI person representing the syringes – and everyone was excited to share strategies, and [...]
I reopen the tab, refresh the site and let the wave of green wash over me. If I keep the page open, it’s like I’m still in the Slipstream.
Much like the disheveled fur coat of a large Alaskan Malamute puppy, the economic structure of most African countries succeeds on two key ideological pillars. I warned you Chloe… I think slipstream and Connected in Motion perhaps have a slightly different meaning for me than other Slipstreamers. Every event I’ve been too I have been [...]
Since I was a small child, I’ve always been very shy. I’ve always been afraid to put myself out there, especially in situations that are unfamiliar. I have a small core group of good friends, and that’s usually where my comfort zone ends. Being diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes in July 2009 was a huge [...]
I am not used to going on a rant about myself with blogs, maybe because I’d worry what other people think about me, but I feel that this has been the most influential year of my life. I hope if you take the time to read this, you may find snippets that pertain to your [...]
After coming home from Connected In Motion’s 2011 Winter Slipstream, it took a while to let everything I had been a part of this past weekend soak in (being my first Slipstream and all). So many words to describe this weekend come to mind; inspiration, fun, connection, amazement, motivation, gratitude, and that’s among few. One [...]
As I stare at this blank screen I know that I could fill the page with words beyond words of how my weekend went. I have learned so much that I have a feeling that I will not be at a loss of words for awhile on my blog. This weekend 40+ type 1 diabetics [...]
There are very few times where I feel that I have been lucky to actually have diabetes. Usually, thinking about my life with diabetes makes me ashamed, angry, sad, depressed, bitter or frustrated. But this weekend, this weekend I saw the other side. A glimpse to an alternate reality, where its cool to have diabetes. [...]
Have you ever watched the Tour de France and seen the lone cyclist biking desperately to catch up with the rest of the pack? Well, thanks to Connected in Motion I know that s/he is looking to enter into the amazing phenomenon known as the Slipstream, which Chloe has spoken about numerous times. This past [...]
Few times in my life have I found myself so at peace with the disease that challenges me every second of every day. This Winter Slipstream 2011 proved once again to be such a moment in my life. I struggle to find words to encompass my feelings towards the friends I made and those I [...]
