A member asked:
Can you tell me how to get on the waiting list for a pancreas transplant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
First an evaluation: Call one of the local transplant centers in your location and make an appointment to be evaluated. You can contact the american society of transplant surgeons for a center in your area. Not every diabetic is a good candidate for the procedure and you will need careful evaluation and discussion of benefits and risks.
