Abstract

© 2019 Diabetes UK. Despite major advances in structured education, insulin delivery and glucose monitoring, diabetes self-management remains an unremitting challenge. Insulin therapy is inextricably linked to risk of dangerous hypoglycaemia and sustained hyperglycaemia remains a leading cause of renal failure. This review sets out to demystify transplantation for diabetes multidisciplinary teams, facilitating consideration and incorporation within holistic overall person-centred management. Deceased and living donor kidney, whole pancreas and isolated islet transplant procedures, indications and potential benefits are described, in addition to outcomes within the integrated UK transplant programme.
