Well, we have the panel of all panels regarding all the current developments in the artificial pancreas space. These worldwide leaders and superstars who are on the cutting edge represent and have done research on the multiple AP systems in development: Animas, Tandem, Bigfoot, Medtronic, etc. What the heck will we do with all of our free time if we don’t have to think about our diabetes and being in the zone all day? This technology is so close we can taste it, and it’s delicious![/mpc_textblock]
Hello,
We have a friend with Type 1 diabetes who has reached the end of the road -he is not yet 50 years old, has a transplanted kidney, he was on a waiting list at McGill in Montreal for an islet transplant (Islets of Langerhans) when the government cancelled the program. He is no longer able to control his glucose levels and his transplanted kidney is in difficulty. His doctors recommend the Medtronic 670G. He was ready to go to the USA to get the pump, but they refused him because he is not American. The pump is not yet approved in Canada.
Can you help??

Is it weird to want to see a real pancreas? I uused to live in Bangkok and spent a fascinating day at the Queen Siriraj Medical Museum. Five or six giant halls containing exhibits of just about every wayy you can die. I know I looked at many jarred organs, but at the time I didn’t know I had T2D (did, but wasn’t diagnosed yet). I’m sure I probably stared at a jarred pancreas for a second, but it didn’t register. I’ve searched for Google images but keep getting cartoons. I see my endo next week (who is a uni professor). Would it be weird to ask him to show me a real pancreas? I am not squeamish about innards. I’d just like to see one and ask some questions.
T1D. Sorry. And please excuse the other typos. I have blurred vision and a dodgy keyboard.
T1D, Tyopos due to complcations.
