Who are not good candidates for a pancreas transplant?
Many people with diabetes are not good candidates for a pancreas transplant. Others do not have tissue compatibility with the donor organ. People who are successfully controlling their diabetes with insulin injections are usually not considered.
Can diabetes be cured with a organ transplant?
Yes it can. There are two types of diabetes, insulin dependant and non insulin dependant. Diabetes ends up affecting the kidney and eventually a kidney transplant will be required. Because diabetes is caused by the insulin production, in the insulin dependant diabetes, often a pancreas and kidney transplant will take place. The pancreas is where the insulin is produced. By replacing the pancreas, insulin production becomes normal and diabetes is cured.

Is medical science attempting to conduct Pancreas Transplant for the cure of Diabetes Melitus?
That's a great idea. But it is not practical thing. You have very good drugs to treat the diabetes. The pancreas is not there to produce insulin only. It has got many other important roles to play. So you will not take such major step to cure the diabetes. You do not use the gun to kill the mouse.

What must be developed before a diabetic can receive an organ transplant?
Diabetics can have organ transplants. Kidney and pancreas (both at once) transplants are becoming more common as treatment for type 1 diabetics as it improves quality of life. Transplants performed on diabetics for reasons not directly related to their diabetes are also possible - having any form of diabetes does not automatically rule a person out from receiving a transplant.
