NO MORE INSULIN!!

I had to share the great news that I went to see my endocrinologist on Friday and was told that we were going to try not taking any insulin at all! My A1C was 5.4 and was low enough that he didn't think the 4 units of insulin per day were really doing that much! He thought my body was making enough on its own to try to do without! So, we shall see!! This is very exciting as I'm not a big fan of needles and a HUGE fan of sweets and carbs! :)

I also wanted to share the wonderful news that is coming about.... I have decided to start my own charity and really push towards the things I have wanted to accomplish since overcoming pancreatitis. So very soon there will be the angry pancreas foundation! (http://www.angrypancreas.com/). If there are any patients that would like to share their stories and journeys with the disease, PLEASE email me so that I can post them on the website and share with others!
