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.

What does the natural production of insulin prevent following a pancreas transplantation?

Which part of the is responsible for production of insulin?
insulin produced by beta cells of the pancreas
Which organ destroys the insulin after it has its effect?

Yes insulin is the hormone which check the over production of glucose
is pancreas responsible for production of insulin?
