      If islet cell transplantation is proven safe and effective, how likely would you be to consider it a treatment option?
      Without rejection drugs- very likely. With rejection drugs- not a chance.

      Only if I don't need to take any immunosuppression drugs

      All depends on if anti rejection and immunosuppressive medications are needed. If so I would not be interested.

      It would depend on the cost and coverage by insurance as well as the requirement for immunity suppressants.

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

      If it requires immunosuppressive medication I have no interest. I'll continue to manage with insulin.

      Very likely, especially if stem-cell generated islet cells are transplanted without the need for immunosuppressants. If tegoprubart is needed and is found safe after the trials are complete, then likely.

      Very likely. Although the simplicity of spifflicating is often overrated. 🤓☝️

      I was going to comment that there's always a trade off. Am I trading insulin replacement with some other daily treatment? If so, what's the difference? Is the new daily grind more harmful than the old?

      I am too old and prefer my daughters get islet cells. There isn’t going to be enough to treat everyone I am sure as the supply will not allow that

      5.4 I believe my activity level and exercise level helps. I enjoy walking, hiking, biking. I also take cycle classes and strength classes at the Y. Idid not do well but I participated in the discus at the Ohio senior games.

      6.3 with too many lows!

      My recent 7.1 reading was greatly welcomed by my endocrinologist since it suggests that my ongoing problem of too many lows, indicated by being in the 6 range for a number of years is being taken care of.

      Last two were 6.2 and 6.1 where it’s consistently been for the past two years except for one last Summer when my A1c was 5.8.

      The definitional bell-shaped curve, although with a slight upward bias. I wonder if this correlates with age, as many older people are encouraged to achieve higher, rather than lower, numbers? ▼

      Mine is typically around 7-7.5.
      It’s only in the 5s right now because I’m pregnant.

      I don’t feel my A1C is very accurate. I suspect it reads lower because my bloods cell size has changed over time (low iron) but I can’t find a doctor that confirms it
