I was implanted 2/12/2024 and my recovery has gone extremely well and I am very happy with the results.

Re: Type 1 Diabetics with Implant

Re: Type 1 Diabetics with Implant
Lots of good info, thanks for your reply. I'm sorry that things didn't turn out all well.

Type 1 Diabetics with Implant
I am type 1 diabetic seeking more information leading up to getting an implant. I want to know what other type 1's experience has been with getting an implant. Which one did you opt for and why? And what was your A1C prior to surgery?
