A member asked:
Are there any artificial pancreases (pancrelipase)?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: However, transplant of small cellular components of the pancreas which make the insulin, called islets, are done in a few experimental centers around the country. In addition, some patients can do well with an external artificial Insulin pump which delivers Insulin over a two day period and has to be adjusted less frequently than given Insulin shots.
