[QUOTE="SandyDee, post: 909088, member: 81190"] YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!! Can you imagine being able to go out without a bag full of coke, glucogel and testing kit, not having to constantly worry about making a total prat of myself when hypo (no warnings), being able to drive again, being able to have sex without having to stop halfway to check my blood sugars and drink some coke, not have to face the possibility of blindness, limb loss and all the other lovely complications. After 29 years it would be strange but Yes! Having said that I was considered for an Islet Transplant and because of the issues involved I was not sure. Swapping insulin for anti-rejection drugs didn't seem much of a deal, also having to constantly worry about infections and staying out of sun because of increased cancer risk certainly gave me a lot to think about, plus of course it doesn't last forever and unlike places like the US the NHS has limited the amount of ops you can have. I would have only got about 6-8 years and with the risks involved I think I was a bit relieved when they refused me. [/QUOTE]
