I had one 2 years ago and am not using any insulin at all now. I do take the immunosuppressive drugs, but they really aren't that bad. I don't have to worry about low blood sugars ever, and that is a good tradeoff. Also they are getting closer to being able to transplant without immunosuppression. Islet cell transplants are not the endpoint of the cure, but they are close enough to give hope that we are almost there.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441855736336430014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101028800995433163.post-80787830766782384162010-09-13T21:25:39.681-07:002010-09-13T21:25:39.681-07:00I will always hope.
