What really struck me about the article is that I wasn’t told about these potential diseases that are so prevalent post transplant. My transplant team is awesome, and our nutritionist informative. But I think it’s a disservice to have not been fully transparent. I’ve never had high blood pressure, high lipid counts, or high glucose until post transplant. I’m now being even more diligent on healthy eating and exercise so my labs are improving. I’m glad your diabetes is in remission!

@athenalee I agree with you. I love my transplant team but I was not really made aware of these potential problems from immunosuppressants. I also did not have these problems prior to transplant, except for diabetes which apparently goes hand in hand with cirrhosis.
I am really trying to eat healthily also, and I am trying to concentrate on eating to improve my cholesterol and my bones.
