[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 1194588, member: 94348"] Hi. Loliz. I would not say it is easy getting older as a Type one - some may be lucky but a lot of people who do not have Type one get other health issues in their late 60's - the problem is, what happens when a type one gets similar problems? In my experience, type one complicates things, and may even make these issues a lot worse for a number of reasons. If you were to get these problems in the years after transplant, how would your body cope with anti rejection drugs as well? Maybe you could look into things in more detail. ask more questions....look at your family health history? Agree re Hypurin, i use it but it is the slowest porcine insulin i have used, and i have used a number of them in the past - strange that the faster ones, especially pork velosulin, were taken out and only the slowest porcine left. I am in a somewhat similar position as you - though still on Hypurin at present - I need to have a faster insulin due to problems taking ages to bring highs down and the effect of more prolonged high glucose on the conditions i now have. (which themselves may or may not be somewhat related to diabetes, but they certainly make diabetes more difficult to manage) .Have you ever tried, or considered trying, or ever asked if you could try, Hypurin in the pump but analogue insulin just for boluses to correct?
