At 8:40pm on January 9th, 2008, David Hite, PhD said…: Yes, the lows you're having are from the the lack of glucagon normally produced in the alpha cells. Glucagon triggers sugar release from the liver when blood sugar drops too low. That's very interesting. I've read about cases like yours but haven't had the pleasure of talking directly about the problem. Were the islet cells transplanted into the liver? This is beyond my normal scope of practice, but why not transplant alpha cells too?

At 8:01pm on January 9th, 2008, David Hite, PhD said…: Nice to meet you Robin. Your situation is complicated. Are the transplanted islets producing insulin? How is the the CGMS working out?
