  How willing would you be to take immunosuppressants if you were considering an islet cell transplant?
  After 70 years with T1d and some reduced kidney function and seeing my dad's poor recovery after a kidney transplant, I have no desire to be subjected to chemicals that would further accelerate the demise of my kidneys.

  Nope, T1D is a manageable thing with today's technology. I'll keep the devil I know.

  How easy is it for you to find research opportunities that feel relevant to you?
  It seems to get harder every year. They seem to be looking for younger and newly diagnosed people.

  Agreed, and there are plenty of issues aging with T1D.

  If islet cell transplantation is proven safe and effective, how likely would you be to consider it a treatment option?
  All depends on if anti rejection and immunosuppressive medications are needed. If so I would not be interested.

  Very likely provided immunosuppressants aren't required. Also younger people should receive the treatment first.

  How concerned are you about the risks of islet cell transplantation such as unknown long-term effects or immune system response?
  Pinioned to youth, my comment may be difficult for some of you to understand. But at my age and experience level, long-term effects consists of what is going to happen in the next thirty to forty-five minutes. Sigh! 🎀 ྀིྀི

  Which of the following do you use or wear at least 25% of the time (e.g., 2+ days per week)? Select all that apply:
  None of these. I'm not interested and have not even heard of some of them. The fewer gadgets the better.

  I agree with Molly. I’m moderately concerned because if I were extremely or very concerned, I just wouldn’t participate. I’m concerned for others who are brave enough to risk their own health for the sake of research and helping others.

  Our collective lack of concern about the long term ought to put us at the top of the transplant list.

  Long term effects are not a worry to me after 50 years of T1D…..not sure that I have a long runway ahead of me. If it helps advance a better life for young people with T1D sign me up.

  Have you heard about tegoprupart, an immunosuppressant alternative with fewer side effects than traditional immunosuppressants, now being used for islet cell transplantation?
  Well the first person in this trial has been insulin-free for over 1-1/2 years and has been feeling fine. All 12 participants in this trial so far are off of insulin. The trial is now going to include people with t-1 diabetes and some kidney damage as this immunosuppressant (tegoprubart) has shown no toxic effects to islet cells or to kidneys. I will keep watching as the trial progresses. This question only asked if we had heard about it. I didn't see the question as an advertisement.

  Concern is relative to outcome. Getting a five year reprieve on the daily management of T1D might be worth it.

  Moderately as this is for others. I don't imagine being offered this myself.

I am taking medication for ADHD, and while it doesn’t impact my blood glucose numbers on its own, I have improved overall numbers because of its effects on my ADHD.

It’s a stimulant of course it’s going to affect blood glucose numbers.

I have been taking ADHD medication for many years and I do not see any impact on my blood glucose numbers

I never even thought to track whether my ADHD medication would influence my BG numbers when I started taking it. I am not sure if it has influenced, but it definitely helps me stay more on top of my management.
