when we found out about Robyn's dibetes they kept her in hospital for a week just to teach us how to take care of her, and they wouldn't dismiss her until Debi and I gave each other shots.(she poked me twice the first time scared her) and then gave Robyn a shot. The things have changed, new types of insulin have allowed her a little more freedom where she take her shots when she wants to rather than on a schedule. She still has to monitor her BG's but seems to be doing very well. I have heard of testing being done in Canada where they take an enzime from a healthy pancreas and place it in the liver of a diabetic and it starts to produce insulin. It's tested 100% percent amoung the few they have tried it on, wouldn't it be great if it became cure, I would be the happiest Man on earth to see my little girl not have to take shots anymore.
