Hello, my name's Kerry, I'm 29, I had type 1 diabetes for 20 years. During that time I suffered from what is often reffered to as 'Diabulimia'. In 2004 I began to experience symptoms of diabetic complications, including autonomic and peripheral neuropathy, gastroparisis and sight loss. I had a pancreas transplant on 02/01/08. It has been an amazing experience, painfull and difficult at times too!!
I'd really like to hear from anyone else who's had a transplant, especially a pancreas alone. I'd also like to hear from anyone who is interested in pancreas transplants as a treatment for diabetic complications, whether you agree with he concept, or not - what do you think????
