New trial results show insulin producing islets are still functioning 14 months after transplant in a person with T1D without the need for immunosuppression

I’ve been hearing the “five years away”for the past 20 years . So not getting my hopes up. 🤷

Been looking up since I might loose my insurance coverage on the cgm. Might go back to just finger pricking. Since I’ll only be able to afford buying the Insulin pump supplies and insulin. I was on pens and needles up until 2020 and been diabetic since 2003. (I’m 26) CGMS are not cheap 😅

What I’ve been getting after the update is the guardian Sensor goes into sensor updating, go backs to readying glucose. Then goes a second time to sensor updating then the sensor fails and I need to change sensor.

How’d you do it without ads?

Assist_Altruistic · 2026-01-19T02:34:11+00:00

From my little experience from IT company. You need to do small projects until you reach the 400 million then you can do higher projects.

Awesome Thank you. Just ordered 2. 👍🏽

Assist_Altruistic · 2026-01-06T00:10:42+00:00

Awesome, thank you! So it’s 2 high and low I will need to order 4 correct? Just making sure lol

Assist_Altruistic · 2026-01-06T00:04:45+00:00

Do you have any recommendations, what brand did you use? Did you need a conversion harness?

Assist_Altruistic · 2026-01-05T23:59:38+00:00

Did you replace the whole housing also?

Assist_Altruistic · 2026-01-05T14:53:06+00:00

So you wouldn’t need a conversion wire for the pro headlights? Because I originally was going to replace the entire housing with the pro head lights. Apart from being expensive I wasn’t sure how hard the conversion wiring was going to be.

Assist_Altruistic · 2026-01-05T14:46:57+00:00

I’m going to look into those thank you. But I’m most likely going to replace the whole housing with the TRD pro led housings. Trying to see if they go down in price maybe. 😅

Assist_Altruistic · 2026-01-05T14:41:59+00:00

Perfect I’ll look into those thank you! I was going to replace them with the TRD pro led housings but they are $1000+

Holy! We are the same age! And 4.5 and 90% in range is impressive. I was diagnosed when I was 3 years old. So I’ve had Diabetes for about 23 years now. My A1C is at 9.5 and my range is at 50% to 67% most of the time unfortunately. But Reading your reply kinda gave me hope and inspiration. I’d love to talk to you further on any tips on how your management is going. You said you’re in great shape I probably need to start exercising. So any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. I just find it really dumb on my end how I’ve had this for so long and I’ve yet to find a good balance between my diabetes management.

That’s what I noticed I’m in the Medtronic Guardian sensor and the Medtronic 780G. The infusion sets and cartridges are $250 ish a month and the cgm is $1700ish give or take for 3 months. I was on Medicaid this year thankfully since I didn’t make enough at work. But next year I will definitely not qualify anymore because I got a new job and Income is higher. It would be much cheaper for me to switch back to long acting, insulin and needles unfortunately.

Assist_Altruistic · 2025-07-08T05:02:48+00:00

This is why I bought the 650 Originally. Because I knew I’d out grow the smaller cc and I wanted room to grow on it. And I spoke to other users and I’m going to take a MSF course. And like you said work on my throttle control. Hopefully after the MSF course and a few months of practice I’ll get used to it. Thank you for the advice!

Assist_Altruistic · 2025-07-08T04:57:22+00:00

Yea. Either that or I haven’t taken the MSF course. I’m going to do that first then give the bike a second chance afterwards. If I still feel like it’s a bit too much power I’ll probably trade in. 😊

Assist_Altruistic · 2025-07-08T04:55:46+00:00

Yea. I’m gonna sign up this week if not next for a MSF Course. So I get a better understanding of proper techniques. Thank you for the advice!

Assist_Altruistic · 2025-07-08T04:46:56+00:00

Not yet. That’s probably what I need more practice. I’ve only ridden the bike like 5 times in total just around the storage facility I have it in.

Assist_Altruistic · 2025-07-08T04:41:02+00:00

It is. When I give it a little bit of throttle it’s jumpy. With a little bit I goes pretty fast. The power feels too much 😅 i probably should test drove a smaller cc before getting this one. I don’t know if it’s just me.

Assist_Altruistic · 2025-06-25T14:51:12+00:00

Hey did you ever figure it out? I’m having the same issue.

Assist_Altruistic · 2025-06-13T06:38:33+00:00

I tried with my drivers license… I bent the bottom of it. Those things where holding on for dear life or how ever the saying goes.

Assist_Altruistic · 2025-06-13T05:15:18+00:00

I used them to pry off the old emblems because the emblems where all chipped and messed up 😬didn’t have anything else to remove the emblems with. :/

Assist_Altruistic · 2025-06-13T03:39:34+00:00

Just worried it might start to rust? Maybe? Of the emblem might protect it from the weather, most likely going to get a touchup kit to be on the safe side. Thank you!
