      How concerned are you about potential barriers to islet cell transplantation, such as cost, access, eligibility, or insurance approval?
      There are many concerns, one being if I'll still be alive if it's ever offered :)

      At 78 I don't think islet transplantation will affect my life course. Big pharma sees biological treatments as the path to ever higher profits, not constrained by patent terms the way drugs are. Most diabetics would be better served by an improved standard of care from the ADA and the medical community.

      Very, but more worried about it even making to the FDA and approved there first.

      Severe case of hardening of the “oughteries” here. Ought we be concerned with cost, insurance, coverage, hail storms, earthquakes? ▄█▀█● Why are we not homeschooled to enjoy the progress being made?

      While those items are very much a concern, there are other factors that are more concerning ie immunosuppressant.

      If they can transplant them such that we do not need immunosuppresants, we'd be fine. Otherwise, those meds are just one more thing that could become in short supply. But at least we could go through scanners at the airports and travel without huge bags of supplies.

      General access to islet transplants is still years away. FDA has to deem it safe. Though, I am excited about the possibility.

      How likely is it that you would participate in a clinical trial for islet cell transplantation?
      Age 73 here. I'm in the same boat. I ogten am considered too old for consideration for "smaller" research projects. But - best of luck to them. I'll be rooting on the sidelines.

      I've tried twice and was rejected both times because I control my diabetes as best I can. As others have already stated, if immunosuppressing drugs are involved, count me out. I'm not interested in something worse than what I already have.

      Not if it requires immunosuppressant drugs. Been there done that time to move on to something much better.

      I answered “Very Unlikely” not because I woud not want to participate but because, at age 75, I think it very unlikely that any researcher would want me in their patient panel.

    Have you ever used a connected insulin pen? Also known as a “smart pen,” connected insulin pens can offer extra technology with the simplicity of injections, like tracking the timing and dose of insulin, tracking insulin-on-board, and calculating insulin doses based on carbohydrate entries.

      Besides the first three giving ways listed, I like to educate others of the medical conditions that I am aware of and the infinite ways they can impact a life. Until almost twenty I was blissfully ignorant of most health concerns and the need for research.

      Donate to st Mary’s food bank each pay period. No child should go hungry. Also to Goodwill. And other various donations throughout the year. Especially holidays.

      I believe it was Muhammad Ali that said, “Giving is the rent you pay for service on earth.”

      Local food charities with low expense ratios are personal favorites.

      Not specifically for GivingTuesday, but I have loved giving blood & platelets as much as possible ever since I learned that diabetics were eligible to do so.
