Hi, my grandpa was recently admitted to the hospital due to pains in his abdomen and general torso area. He has inflammation in his pancreas. Is this life threatening in any way?
My 22 years old and I have type 1 diabetes. I just want to know if having a pancreas transplant would be more cost benefit than spending a lifetime supply of insulin pens ( humalog & lantus), pen needles, test strips, Lancets, and pills for my high blood pussure and cholesterol
I spend like about $80 a month for all these stuff expect for the test strips & lancets i get those for free thank to my insureance
I know it works on the negative feedback system, but how does the pancreas know how much insulin is in your blood?
Also, is that mechanism in the pancreas itself, or is it the hypothalamus that detects the level of insulin and stops sending stimulating hormones?
Thanks!
