What are the benefits of a kidney/pancreas transplant?
A transplant can improve the length and quality of your life. You will feel better, spend less time in hospital, enjoy a normal diet and return to a more normal lifestyle. After a successful kidney/pancreas transplant dialysis and insulin therapy are no longer required. The new kidney filters your blood and the new pancreas produces insulin to regulate your blood sugar. After transplantation, your blood sugar level before and after eating is normal. A pancreas transplant can also help stabilize other diabetic complications.
