Victoria – After a long day at work, Brenda Mirabeau loves to put on her favourite music and dance around the house. So, six years ago, when her toes went numb and she could no longer walk around at home, her family was alarmed. “I was so cold that I was shivering… that’s when they rushed me to the hospital,” she says. After emergency care, Mirabeau was diagnosed with diabetes, a condition that runs in her family.
