Hi everyone!
I am so excited to share with youabout my islet cell transplant.  After 
living with Type 1 for 52 yearsI had an islet cell transplaant last 
week.  My blood sugars are now in the normal range although it is 
supposed to take 4 to 6 weeks for the cells to function normally. I 
can't believe it!  The procedure is still considered experimental, so 
there was no charge.  The study is funded by the Juvenile Diabetes 
Foundation.  Am I grateful!!!There are several Universities conducting 
the study right now.  I had mine done at UCSF.  I was in the hospital 
for one week and the actual procedure, implanting the cells through a 
catheter into the liver, only takes about 45 minutes.  I was sick from 
the immune suppressants while I was in the hospital, but feel great now! 
I just knew God would let me experience part of life without diabetes! 
Hurray, hurray, hurray!!!

So, keep healthy everyone and avoid those complications for when there 
is a cure for your kind of diabetes, you want to enjoy it!

Sally Maguire
