A member asked:
Should i be concerned if my wife wants an islet cell transplant. what do you think?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weigh the options: Islet cell transplants are performed, and many patients have been helped by them. In particular, to treat the terrible symptom of hypoglycemic unawareness. Like any surgical procedure there are risks and benefits that should be carefully discussed and understood before you go forward with the procedure.
