[QUOTE="clareb1970, post: 1385880, member: 168117"] I have been on immunosuppressants 11 years (SKP transplant) and to be honest have not noticed much difference from when I was a T1 diabetic in terms of side effects or risk of infection. As a diabetic if I did get a virus or bacterial infection it probably lasted a little longer than a non diabetic, but nothing excessive. After taking immunosuppressants I am not sure if it is any different. Taking tablets twice a day instead of injecting 4 times a day is a bonus, as is not having to do a stream of finger pricking. I do get my bloods done every three months which checks my kidney function and HbA1c. I attend the Renal Transplant Clinic at Manchester Royal Infirmary (where I received my transplant) every 6 months or whenever I want to if I am concerned about anything. My Consultant is amazing and extremely down to Earth. For me, life is definitely better post transplant, however, everyone has their own personal experience and views. [/QUOTE]
