[QUOTE="Diamattic, post: 1387431, member: 138639"] That man has had a very rough life :/ I guess its technically a cure if has stopped the disease. From what i gather T1D can have insulin function halted due to an almost singular event prompting the immune system to destroy cells, and stressing the remaining cells to death over time. (which is why some of use had months of struggle before diagnosis) If this is the case then it may not reoccur later in life with the new pancreas, and perhaps the immunosuppressents given for rejection do something to further prevent this occurrence. This is of course all speculation on my part lol I would also suspect the mortality figures are highly dependent on the hospital, doctor, and region you are located in - not all surgeons are 'the best', and not all patients react the same. I would suspect the good hospitals with rates below the national average quote those figures and the not so good ones quote the national average then exact figures lol [/QUOTE]
