- About Me: Please use this space to tell the community about yourself and your unique experience with transplantation:
- I was diagnosed with diabetes after collapsing on my 5th birthday party cake. For years my mother and my three older brothers,then I managed my disease through insulin shots and pills. In my early 20s, I learned that I would need dialysis and eventually a kidney/pancreas transplant. I contends that along the way, no single group of medical personel seemed to understand my situation fully.I pieced together information as I went along. Then, after receiving a transplant at another southern california hospital. I transferred to UC San Diego Medical Center for continuing care. and my life and quality of my life, changed dramatically. Everyone is so compassionate. The entire team is very thorough. They listen, They respond to me. And I follow what they tell me to do.
