Pancreas transplant for diabetes mellitus

The only long-term diabetes treatment that consistently results in normal hemoglobin A1c levels without the risk of severe hypoglycemia is a pancreas transplant. The procedure has a high success rate, and when it’s done earlier in the course of diabetes, it can help prevent or reverse the long-term complications of diabetes. To learn more about the indications, options, and outcomes of pancreas transplant as a treatment for diabetes, go to the Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine: http://www.ccjm.org/topics/diabetes-endocrinology-metabolism/single-article-page/pancreas-transplant-for-diabetes-mellitus/763b4edfd890d38cc8fbdff8cb899a0c.html.
