Can a pancreas transplant get rid of diabetes? And other questions

Welcome @joeazucena1. Good questions about pancreas transplant as a treatment option for diabetes. I encourage you to register for an upcoming event where you can ask your questions to Mayo Clinic's Dr. Tambi Jarmi, transplant nephrologist and Dr. Jessica Wilson, endocrinologist.
See more details here:

In the meantime, I'd like to bring @cehunt57 @2011panc @tbingheim @pamherman into this discussion to connect with you and to share their experiences with pancreas transplant and diabetes.
Joe, do you have type 1 diabetes? Are you currently on the transplant wait list?

Hi Joe,
I had Type 1 for 21 years then a PTX 20 years ago and it is still working very well, no insulin shots, no diet restrictions, A1c of 5.2-5.4. I am very blessed to say I do not have diabetes anymore for 20 years. It stabilized my eyes and stomach issues, So forth.
