Pancreas Transplant

it would certainly be more fun to have a dad!

Wow, 14 days. You are just a baby aren't you? lol Anyway, the first year is filled with paranoia - germs, drugs, etc. But that will fade and you will learn what to do. As I said, if you have problems with the drugs, they can switch you to something else. I am part of the steroid avoidance study at U of Mn and have been steroid free for almost 10 years with the kidney and all 4 1/2 with the pancreas.

Enjoy the new organ.

Yeah and much cuter, too. I know that is not the type of input OP is looking for, but was just wondering if he'd tried this sort of route before opting for a transplant. I imagine he has considered all options.

Hypoglycemic Unawareness was a huge problem for me until I received the CGM 2.5 years ago. I'm still unaware, but the CGM's alert signal has made this condition insignificant.
I still maintain the CGM is the best diabetes advancement since insulin injection. I say this in spite of the fact that I've seen tremendous improvement in insulin itself during my 61 years as a T1.
