Another super exciting announcement!!! We are trying to get my body to act more like one without diabetes... Trina is a place that has done the artificial pancreas treatment for years and years. I just found out about this via coincidence...( I, like God, do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidences -- V) and this is one of the best things I have ever done healthwise. This treatment can reverse and prevent diabetic side effects in the future (retinopathy, neuropathy, gastroparesis, etc). Medication can help some with diabetes (especially those with type 2) but Type 1 is trickier.
The issue is I have to track my points... I ate so many gummy bears while there (it's insulin via an iv, so we have to keep my blood sugar high). I really hope this helps me over all though. I have such a good feeling about this treatment 8)
And gummy bears.... yummy 8D
( Additional note -I am finding this is considered experimental. While I am finding people who have had success in their insurance paying for this treatment, it does sometimes require appeals and patience. It's really frustrating when treatments that work or would work for people so much better than other ways are harder to get approved. We prayed and really looked at this and we know this is the path for me. They really work with your situation as well, so that's a good thing. They want people to be helped 8). I have already seen so much good from this and I am very thankful. It is helping us peel the layers of my health issues quite faster... I have been sick for years, and unfortunately, it is taking quite a long time to sort each and every health problem and to deal with the aftermath of uncontrolled illnesses, but we're working on it 8). I am very thankful for this treatment! 8))
