The insuleoin Podcast - Redefining Diabetes

#41: A Pancreas Transplant: Last Chance of Survival for Brandon Mouw.

This week’s episode of the podcast is the most incredible story so far.

Eoin speaks with fellow Type 1 Diabetic, Brandon Mouw. Brandon was diagnosed with Diabetes at the age of 3 and has been living with the condition for 31 years. He has always taken good care of his Diabetes management and is proudly ‘a very healthy Diabetic’.

In 2015, following a sudden, intense pain, Brandon underwent 9 surgeries and had one of his kidneys removed. One problem seemed to lead to another (to say the least) and his last hope of survival was to get a full Pancreas transplant. He wasn’t just facing health difficulties, he was also facing substantial financial difficulties as a result. Brandon had to somehow raise $250,000 in 3 months, just to pay for his life saving surgery.

We’ll let you hear it from him.
