a campaigning, and helping people live with the
condition.
On
26 January 2020,
Diabetes UK announced the launch of a groundbreaking research program that will take forward a revolutionary procedure
developed in Canada by British surgeon James Shapiro.
The procedure
involves the transplantation of insulin-producing islet cells into
people with diabetes who are unable to make their own insulin.
This
section of Diabetes UK’s website is devoted to islet cell
transplantation.
It includes an explanation of what
are islets,
how they are used in islet
cell transplants,
the history
of transplants and diabetes,
information on the UK
islet research initiative.
The Glossary will
help you understand the medical and scientific terms used on these
pages.
The
UK islet cell transplantation project is expensive and Diabetes UK
needs to raise as much money as possible,
Your
support is therefore essential.
How
you can help explain
the different ways you can support diabetes research.
