Hi

I am and live in South Africa. I was diagnosed in June 2006 with access

insulin and type 2 diabetic. In a way it was great to find out, because I

previously had things happen to me which there was no explanation. Where did

you get your glucose meter? I am looking for one and in England gave me

an manufacturer's email address I emailed them, but got no reply. Kind regards

Hi Ruth,

I'm from BC and have had diabetes for 15 years (I'm only 24 so I think the

youngest on the list). I didn't know the Prodigy meter and strips were available

in Canada.

Welcome to the list.

Hello Ruth,

Welcome to the list! My name is Danny, and I live in Dunwoody, Georgia.

I've been a type 1 diabetic for 46 years, and I'm completely blind. I have

two daughters, 12 and 9. My wife has been diagnosed a type 2 diabetic about

two years ago. I look forward to your insights.

Under His Mercy,

Danny

[Guest guest]

Hi Danny,

Thank you for the welcome. My brother was also diabetic for 48 years until

recently. He had a pancreas-kidney transplant and he is doing wonderfully.

Have you ever thought about a pancreas transplant? My brother does not know

what to do with himself since he has been transplanted. He knows nothing

else other than the diabetic life. I'm sure you feel the same after 46

years. I know that I do after 32 years. It's a bummer, but I also think it

makes us tough. Anyways thanks again for the welcome. Talk to you again.

Ruth

Hi Ruth,

To be honest, I've never really given it much thought. I do have a number

of complications from diabetes that might make me somewhat of a risky

candidate, but I think I will ask my diabetologist about a transplant any

way. Thanks for asking! I'm so glad to hear that your brother is doing so

well. I'm sure he feels foot loose and fancy free after trying to live

within the doos and doughn'ts of the diabetic life for 48 years!

Hi Danny,

I too, have had other complications besides the blindness from the diabetes.

I have also been on dialysis,, had a kidney transplant, and had a stroke

which partially paralyzed me on my left side about 6 years ago. I am

enquiring presently about pancreas transplant after kidney transplant. As I

say, diabetes is the disease which keeps on giving, whether you want it or

not. And yes, my brother does feel footloose and fancy free after his

double transplant. Keep truckin.

Danny, I am going into kidney failure, so have looked into transplants. They

will not do just a pancreas transplant unless you need a kidney

transplant-and often if there are a re a number of other ocmplications, they

will not deem you eligible! But, I think it depends on where you go to do

the transplant too.

very soon. I would wait to purchase one if you're thinking of it.

Hi ,

No, I live in Winnipeg. I bought the Prodigy because it was exactly what I

was looking for. With the dollar like it is, I can afford to buy it from

there. I will claim the strips later on income tax. I am really impressed

with the Prodigy! I find it very easy to use.

Hi ,

Thanks for the info. I have some protein spillage, but I' am not at kidney

failure yet. So I probably will not qualify for a transplant. Perhaps I

should ask my doctor some questions though!
