Changing LivesCyndi Smart

Cyndi Smart was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 16.

After suffering the frightening impact of severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) -- and relying on her young daughters to care for her -- she came to the DRI for an islet cell transplant. 

Today, her blood sugar is under control. And, her life has changed dramatically.

"It's a whole new life for me," she says. "I'm healthy."

Editor's note: Throughout the course of clinical trials, the results and/or status of study participants may vary.
