My name is Peggy, the piggy from Pin the Pancreas on the Piggy. Oink, oink! Did you know pigs have helped the diabetes community for many years? Our pancreas was used for insulin many years ago and now, our islet cells (the cells that make the glorious hormone insulin) can be transplanted to people. Those same cells begin to produce insulin, which may lead to a cure! Learn More

So whether you are young or young at heart, have diabetes or support people living with diabetes, you can join the fun. This classy, durable interactive art was created in response to the “Inspired by Diabetes” contest.

 

If your pancreas could talk, what would it say? Each time you push one of the buttons on the Pet Pancreas talking keychain, you will hear one of the 22 positive, fun sayings. The recordings are short and random, with diverse voices, and designed to make you smile. If you need a little positive pick-me-up, consult your pet pancreas as often as you’d like. You’ll hear, “Hello delicious,” “Glucose tablet anyone,” “Pump, pump, pump it up!” and “You’ve got the power” & many more.

It’s pocket-sized (measures 6.6x4 cm or 2 ¾ x 1 ½ inches) and comes with batteries.
