Wilford Brimley on Family Guy -
"Hi, I'm Wilford Brimley and I have diabetes. It hurts me to pee and it causes me to be short with my family. I can't sleep at night. The other day I stubbed my toe and took it out on the dog. And two weeks ago I ran out of vanilla ice cream and struck my wife. Then I find out my wife has been dead for six years. Who th Ice, my friend was just diagnosed as well, be positive and live healthy. All will be good 🙂
*Checking to see if wife is alive, hiding empty ice cream container*

My mom has type 1. It's scary, scary stuff.

well ice's spleen is still stupied!
Originally posted by wormwoodI'm guessing that they use spleen cells to replace dead pancreas cells. They can sometimes do that with other pancreas cells, but I guess if they're (spleen & pancreas cells) structure is similar, it could work.
