Robin
The Mother of 7
Being a mom is challenging enough, but managing brittle diabetes while raising seven girls takes that challenge to an entirely different level.
Robin has recently become insulin free after her islet transplantation procedure. Now celebrates 6 months freedom from insulin with HbA1c 5.0.
Welcome to the Diabetes Free Family, Robin!
...Thank you! This is absolutely life changing for me.
I appreciate everything you do, not just for me but for the future of the disease...
Robin and her family love hiking.
In addition to packing snacks and drinks for the kids, carrying my own backpack full of snacks and juices to combat lows used to be a must.
Not any more!
Now, Robin loves watching her CGM and perfect BG control without insulin,
it is so exciting!
