A member asked:

Is it possible that i give him at least a little bit of my pancreas so he can have a healthy pancreas again and no more diabetes?

Basically no...: A. For you, risk too high for serious complications from the surgery, and amount obtained would not reverse his diabetes b. Patients must confirm to current criteria- frequent low sugars or terrible complications pancreas/islet cell transplants are being done only from patients who've died-eg: trauma and donate organs other techniques being evaluated- stem cells in medical research centers.
