I'm a T2. My body is very insulin resistant. As a result it takes
MORE insulin than my single pancreas can produce to achieve the same result...
To get that extra insulin I have to inject it with every meal, every snack, and at bedtime every night...
IF, I had an additional pancreas or two in my arms or legs to provide that extra insulin, I think that would be wonderful
Still, modern medicine is a lot of research, and a long way from seeing that as a reality. It is however, a goal worth reaching for!
