Extremely Rare Surgery Gives Teenager a Fresh Start

13-year-old Emmy Reeves was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 4 years old. Type 1 diabetes is a disease where the immune system destroys the beta cells of the islets that make insulin, therefore kids with the disease typically need insulin injections. Shortly after Emmy’s first injection, her parents noticed an unusual and pretty intense reaction including difficulty breathing and a rash. The more her disease progressed, the more she needed insulin, and the worse her reactions got. It was determined she was essentially allergic to the very thing that was supposed to keep her alive. Emmy’s complications grew worse. Her eyes and her nerves were damaged by her type 1 diabetes. The number of antihistamines and pain medication she required also took a toll on her quality of life. The secondary complications threatened Emmy’s longevity. Emmy and her family found their long-awaited answer at the University of Minnesota, in the hands of the academic and clinical care teams.
