  How familiar are you with recent developments in islet cell transplantation aimed at eliminating the need for insulin?
  The question is, will insurance pay for this for the elderly. What would be their cutoff.

  I'm cheap and go for the off brands. Saves a lot of money and it does what I need. No I can't give myself insulin through my watch, but it does notify me when my blood sugar is out of range.

  There are several interesting trials going on now. VERTEX, and Elodon are two US trials, their is also a Swedish trial the uses gene editing to eliminate the need for immunosuppressive drugs.

  No one is interested in immune suppression drugs- most of us are coping by now. Most of us would also be willing to try paths that don’t require additional drugs, but we’re rejected because we’re coping.

  I agree totally. Antirejection protocol would be worse than just pumping insulin. I don't see any advantage

  Other for the lacking answer of none of these. It took a while to get used to wearing my pump and CGM. I HATE the feeling of attachments to my skin and can't wear jewelry or watches.

  None of these. I'm not interested and have not even heard of some of them. The fewer gadgets the better.

  I can find research studies that pertain to my medical problems but I do not always have the prerequisites needed for the study.
