Yep. I have type 1 diabetes for 27 years, and so far, no complications.
I recently contracted a shiga toxin producing E. coli strain which was cultured from my bowels. I also cultured entericocci (ETEC) but that’s not relevant to the discussion. I am lucky Shiga toxin E. coli (remember this famous Jack In The Box Breakout, FTW https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Jack_in_the_Box_E._coli_outbreak https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Jack_in_the_Box_E._coli... ) did not affect my kidneys.
I am a dual US|European Union (Croatian) national. Croatia has one of the highest (ethical) transplant rates in the world. Let it be known that I would get it in Croatia over the USA.
