🔬 Islet transplantation is a proven therapy for adults living with type 1 diabetes who experience severe low blood sugars and unstable glucose control despite insulin therapy.

Through a minimally invasive procedure, insulin-producing cells from a donor pancreas are infused into the liver — restoring the body’s ability to sense and regulate blood sugar levels.
