A friend was told (by a Doctor) that ' most of the islet cells are in the tail of the pancreas' I have always understood them to be widely distributed, but with significantly higher concentration in the tail area. I wonder if you might be able to point me towards reliable information on the distribution of Islet cells please.CheersDave</blockquote>
