[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1749099, member: 372717"] I'm assuming that a pancreas transplant wouldn't help a T2, as their problem is not a lack of insulin but insulin resistance.... Also, the pancreas produces a lot more than just insulin, so I'd be reluctant to remove a (mostly) working pancreas and replace it with a substitute if insulin was still available as an option. My sympathy goes out to those with type 3c diabetes (why the c, is there an a and b?), I can't imagine how difficult is must be to cope without all the other good stuff that a pancreas does...
