[Diabetes-talk] My cure of Type 1 Diabetes!

[K C]

Hello, Sally.  I don't know you but I'd like to join the list in extending 
hearty congratulations to you, and your family!  Keep us all posted on how 
you do over the coming weeks, and months as well as the progress of the 
study you participated in.  All though I have type 2 I'm still interested. 
Take care, and stay well.
Kijuana
