Q. Can diabetes be cured with a pancreas transplant?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
No, diabetes cannot be cured with a pancreas transplant. Diabetes is caused by the body's inability to produce insulin, and a pancreas transplant would only cure diabetes if the donor's pancreas also produced insulin.
