>>> 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!!!
