A member asked:
Can someone who is diabetic get a pancreas transplant and be cured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not completely: Pancreas transplant will replace the needed Insulin for the patient, but does not really cure the diabetes. One reason is the disease has been present for years-even decades-and has taken a toll on the blood vessels and other organs and tissues of the body.
