title: Is there a role for pancreas transplantation in type 2 diabetes mellitus?

Several lines of laboratory and clinical evidence suggest that in a carefully selected group of patients, long-term glycemic control and allograft function are similar to that observed for pancreas transplants performed for type 1 diabetes.
