      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.

    Do you take a daily multivitamin?

    Home > LC Polls > Do you take a daily multivitamin?
    Previous

    When treating a low (i.e, less than 70 mg/dl) how often do you over treat, resulting in high blood glucose levels?

    Next

    Aside from the honeymoon phase (if you had one), has the amount of insulin you need increased the longer you have had T1D?

      • Vitamin C 1,000 mg a.m.
      • Vitamin C 1,000 mg p.m.
      • Vitamin B complex a.m.
      • CoQ10 100 mg a.m.

      Had taken Vitamin E for a few years in early 1990’s, but studies showed it wasn’t all that effective.

      I used to but haven’t for years. I get the nutrients I need to sustain the life force in my body by eating a wholesome and balanced intake of healthy and nutritious food choices from various plant and animal sources.

      Yes and d3, calcium, B complex, biotin, Reversetrol, Q 10, EFAs, and a probiotic, as well as what my diabetologist calls the standard cocktail of Lisinipril, Simvastatin, for me Levothyroxin.

      Yes, I do. Why? Because my body deserves all the nutrients it can get and I know I am not eating enough fruits and veggies to do that.
      I also have switched to the gummy form of vitamins because the pill forms are huge and I have literally choked trying to swallow them. Who needs that?

      I also take acidophilis, collagen, calcium & zinc, magnesium, baby aspirin, C, eye care, fish oil, as well as a multiple for 50+ age women. Sometimes I take easy iron and next I might consider Ginko Biloba. Who knows if this is too much of a good thing, but it gives me peace of mind that I am trying to stay well.

      I don’t take a multivitamin, but I do use several supplements. I take salmon oil for antioxidants & Vit D3, a small dose of calcium, a combo of biotin, selenium, and zinc for my hair, and magnesium citrate for leg cramps. Also a probiotic blend for women.

      No. My endo said if I’m eating a balanced diet and getting exercise, a multivitamin is unnecessary. I trust him and I do not like to throw a pill at something that can be corrected with wise eating decisions.
