I'm lucky I get everything reimbursed 100% by my insurance company for the first 6 months after the transplant I had to take an anti viral drug that cost 1500 euros per month.  Those of you who are Type 1 be glad you get all your supplies on National Health because here diabetes is know as the rich mans disease. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  That said, the Beta Cell transplant was the best thing that has happened to me in years, although I still get some hypos, the 4 or 5 weekly coma's hospital admissions have ceased and I have my life back. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
