A member asked:
Is it possible to have a pancreas transplant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hi. Yes, it is. They generally only do them when they're also doing a kidney transplant for kidney failure from diabetic kidney disease, although that standard is shifting some. Transplants require immunosupression, which most docs will tell you is a boat load worse than taking insulin shots. To your health!
