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

Yes, it was brutal at the beginning, however that is why I say 20 years later it must be easier today than when I did it. However, a Nephrologist transplant doctor explained things about my case, and so I followed his individualized after care for me. I have to credit him for why I am doing so well.

The technology for managing diabetes is so much more advanced today than 20 years ago. Insulin pumps and CGM's and looping. I am glad you are doing well but for others reading this, I would hesitate to pursue a transplant given the immune suppressant requirement. It is a worthwhile approach in certain situations.
