  • Ali's Pancreas Transplant Part 2
    Jun 5 2025

    Diabetes Nerd sits down with Ali Dugger to discuss how life is going months following a dual organ transplant. After experiencing severe complications from years of struggling to manage her type 1 diabetes, Ali needed a pancreas and kidney transplant. Today, she no longer has to take insulin shots or check her blood sugar levels. She shares what that experience is like in this episode, along with the challenges she still faces while on immunosuppressants.

    Listen to Part 1, Ali’s Fight to Live: Pancreas Transplant, here: https://youtu.be/5l3CXwamm7M.
