Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes can both be treated with pancreas transplant. We have a growing pancreas transplant program here at Mayo Clinic Florida. If your diabetes is well controlled, the there is no need for pancreas transplant. If your diabetes is not well controlled, then you should look into pancreas transplant to see if it is an option for you. Please attend the webinar noted above and ask any questions you have to our physicians.

My kid has very hard to manage, brittle type 1. Her docs actually think that even after 27 years of diabetes, her pancreas still occasionally makes insulin. Algorithms don't work since her patterns are so variable. However, with a CGM and pump, she is able to keep her blood sugars in range most of the time- with constant vigilance.
