PATIENT STORIES


Whitney
Whitney had her islet transplant 1 month ago.
While she is recovering and islets are still engrafting, her blood glucose is already just perfect, 99% in range.
"I'm so very thankful. It is a huge blessing to me. I have never had such a good blood sugar control and I still can't believe it, I check my CGM all the time and show it to everyone around!
I am also grateful to my pancreas donor and their families for their generous gift, which gace me chance for a new life without insulin.
I would like to thank the entire team of LifeGift- organ procurement organization in Texas.; KyAndra, David, Manny, surgeon- Dr. Onaca, who behind the scene tirelessly recovered organs for transplantation, as well as their leaders Kevin, Patrick and Patricia for their decisions expediting the organ procurement and providing i donor pancreas for islet isolation and transplantation to Chicago".
