Kidney Pancreas Transplant

Hi Everyone!!

I just wanted to share a little about my story. I was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 2. I started having eye problems in my teens and experienced kidney failure in August 2000. After being diabetic for 30 years and being on dialysis for almost 7 years I received a kidney pancreas transplant on July 13, 2007. I am happy to say that I am doing very well and for the first time in my life that I can remember I am living without diabetes!! I hope to share my life experiences and meet others whose lives have been affected by diabetes.

:-)Heather

Hi Heather & welcome to TuDiabetes. So glad you joined us! Your story is truly amazing and I look forward to chatting with you more.

Also, if you haven't already we are asking the FDA to better serve diabetes patient needs. Help us by signing and helping circulate this petition: http://healthefda.com
