Hello!I have been looking for the advances in the field of diabetes, in relation to its cure ...
I recently thought about making a pancreas transplant, but it is not too reliable, so I discarded it ... more
I found a document that was discussed of a super expensive treatment that was not always effective, and today
I have found this ... pancreatic islet transplants ....
Apparently, in 2003 a transplant of this type was carried out in Malaga, which lasted 24 hours, and that apparently had good
Results ... The fact is that I don't know if any type 1 diabetic can make such a transplant ...
If someone has information I would like to know ... Information type where it is done, how much ascends the sum to pay, what
requirements are necessary to carry it out ...
Well, I hope you can help me !!A kiss!

The islet transplant is an option only for special cases.
To start, it is not a definitive solution, because the crazy autoimmune system that produced diabetes will act again and destroy the new islets, unless all the rest of the life are taking immunosuppressants that leave the patient exposed to catch all kinds of infectionsand diseases.
Second, it is a expensive system because several donors are needed for a single transplant, so patients who also need a kidney transplant or who have other pathologies are usually chosen.
Third, in Spain transplants do not "buy", but are assigned according to a scale that depends on gravity and utility.
Better insulin, do not hesitate.
