Kim,
Hang in there. I don't often check in with this site, but my partner, Jim, is coming up on his second anniversary of a dual kidney liver transplant. We did not have to fund raise, so I can't offer a lot of advise on that point, but I can give y…
Thanks, I'll look into that. Update on my health, after starting the glucotrol, I'm back to having terible dibilatating pain in my left knee. Gout seems to be the culprit. I had bouts of gout before my transplant, while in the hospital immediately a…
I've had good results with lowering glucose levels with cinnamon and Vitamin D.
Good luck
i had high sugar levels on prednisone that got lower as the prednisone got lower and then disappeared when the prednisone was stopped.
thanks for sharing, it's something that I've got to get a better handle on.
I am on the edge of high glucose - mine used to run around 120 just after transplant. I quit sweets entirely. I watch my glucose from all foods, I exercise regularly, and take cinnamon and Lipoic Acid. Both cinnamon and Lipoic Acid are touted to hel…
thanks, it really helps being able to vent and share some days! We'll keep a close watch on it! thanks!

- About Me: Please use this space to tell the community about yourself and your unique experience with transplantation:
- Also a 40 year survivor of colon cancer. We suspect radiation treatments led to liver/kidney failure. Was listed with another transplant center is Georgia and then removed from the list-being considered too high risk- the week before Piedmont Hospital accepted me and gave me my transplant. Life expectancy at time of transplant was a matter of days. Meld score when transplant was mathematically a 41 even though the scale only goes to 40. My partner and I met our Donor family through a myspace page that our donor's mother had set up. We talk with her almost daily. Our donor was 19 yrs old, died in a single vehicle car accident.
