10.01.2022 After living with Type 1 diabetes for almost 50 years of his life, Adelaide resident Tony Di Giovanni was one of the first patients to receive a kidney pancreas transplant while suffering from ongoing foot infections, incredibly curing him of his diabetes! Tony’s success has opened up new possibilities for doctors to treat other patients with leg infections without having to amputate it. It’s pretty incredible how far medical research has come, Tony said.... Back in the ‘70s the management of diabetes wasn’t as advanced as it is today. I still even remember using glass syringes and thick needles for my insulin injections and having to complete three daily urine tests for my sugar levels. It wasn’t a simple pin prick blood test like it is today. It’s for this reason Tony supports Kidney, Transplant and Diabetes Research Australia so that medical advancements can continue to improve the lives of people with Type 1 diabetes.
