Wow, so much has changed since the last time I posted any new information. Can you believe its been 8 months to the day since my surgery. It seems like time has flown by for the most part.
On December 4,2011 the day of my birthday I received the best news ever. I woke up in the morning and did my normal blood sugar test, results showed 78 on my blood glucose meter. So I called my endocrinologist to see if we were going to lower my insulin and hopefully increase my carb in-take. Dr. Bellin asked where I was at with my insulin, which she thought I was on 3 units of long lasting insulin. However I was only on 1 unit of insulin and 90 grams of carbs. So she told me to try going insulin free and stop counting carbs. I couldn’t believe what she was saying, I asked if she was sure. I have been insulin free ever since. Doctors told me that I wouldn’t be insulin free for at least 6 months. That means I was 2 months ahead of schedule! Talk about the Best birthday news ever! Its so nice to know that the Islet-Auto Transplant actually worked! God has given me and my family such a miracle. Praise God, he’s so good!
