Guest guest Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 it probably is a joke. When Type 1 strikes, the islets cells care damaged or destroyed by the body. In Type 2, they are weekended or the body does not use insulin like it should. Reactivating the Pancreas Not too long ago (within the last year or so at least), I heard a story of someone placing pepper on the end of a Type 1diabetic's pancreas. Supposedly this pancreas then immediately began to produce insulin on it's own. I don't remember where on the media I heard this, so I cannot vouch for the story's validity, and I admit that it sounds like a good April Fool's joke to me. So I was wondering if anyone else heard this story, or was I merely hallucinating. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 , My guess is what you heard came from someone's overly active imagination. But try Googling it just for the fun of it.
