Type 1 diabetic , became diabetic by loosing my pancreas, spleen and gallbladder Sept. 2008. Lost the pancreas from a gallstone being stuck in the pancreas duck and em-zines could not get out so they ate my pancreas from the middle and killed it. I was very sick but I have recovered and doing well. Retired and learning to love life again so glad to have been given this opportunity . I will be 60 next year. My profile picture is with my Mom in Italy . Traveling with diabetes is very easy just need to do extra planning and bring double of all your Meds.
