[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1473712, member: 32394"] Hi [USER=405503]@maggiestanfield[/USER] thats really interesting. I'm glad your recovery and blood sugar is doing well. Was that your second round of islet cell transplant or the first? What issues are you experiencing from the immunosuperessants? I have just got myself discharged from the transplant clinic. They are still alarmingly keen for me to get on the list and the door is open should I change my mind, but having previously had a melanoma I'm just not currently sold on the risks benefits balance of an islet cell transplant at the moment. I'm just not convinced creating a honeymoon period with islet cell transplant would help me avoid hypos (the reason transplant is being offered to me is hypo unawareness and severe hypos). How are you finding adjusting you insulin dosages to account for the new endogenous insulin appearing, what kind of support are you getting with that? [/QUOTE]
