If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck it's a duck.

I'm a nothing'ist Bruce, so please don't jump to conclusions and then

disrespect me in a public forum.

I have been doing a bit of research on islet transplants. True it can help

to produce insulin. It can even get you off all insulin and oral medications

But this does not mean you can go out and start drinking cokes. You will

always have to monitor your blood glucose and take an ac1 test every three

months. They are doing some clinical trials at St 's Hospital in Long

Beach, CA. I am trying to get my doctor to recommend me since I am being

insulin resistant (humalog 3x a day aprox. 40 unites per and Lantus twice a

day 44 units per). My insurance company has recently denied me my insulin

because they need a preauthorization for over two vials a month. I am using

three each type. I hate insurance companies (but they are a necessary evil).

I see my doctor on the 27th.
