Hello
A pancreas transplant is a surgical procedure performed on patients that may help to cure type 1 diabetes. This procedure involves surgically placing a donor's pancreas into the patient's body. The pancreas of a type 1 diabetic manufactures little or no insulin.
Diabetics are required to monitor their diet, check their blood sugar level, and keep their weight down in order to control the disease. Despite their efforts, some diabetics are still unable to manage their diabetes. Type 1 diabetic patients who struggle to maintain their health may be candidates for a pancreas transplant.
Thanks
