Thank you so much for your reply and the article. From literature review, I deducted that this procedure would be performed like a typical heart cath with a similar recovery. I too will struggle with the lying flat for 4 hours as well. Did they place a sandbag at the site as well?

I am just anxious for some answers. My blood glucose readings and trends are insane and are wearing on my body tremendously. Did you have hypoglycemic events during the night or just after meals?

I have a phone consult with Interventional Radiology in the AM and hope to receive a date for testing as well.

Kind regards.

One of the first things they did for my husband was to put him on OCTREOTIDE injections. This didn't “cure” the hypoglycemia but did help. He is currently seeing improvements since starting CAP/TEM treatments. My best to you.
