What is islet transplantation? How long does it last—and does it really “cure” type 1 diabetes?

Find out from a panel of 8 transplant recipients who are now diabetes-free (10 years and counting for one recipient). They will talk about their personal experiences with diabetes and the surgery that has transformed their lives. University of Minnesota scientists Drs. Bernhard Hering and Meri Firpo will share the very latest information about the use of cell-based therapies in islet transplantation.
