Summary

This study tested whether transplanting insulin-producing cells (islets) could help people with type 1 diabetes who already had a kidney transplant. Fourteen participants received islet cells along with steroid-free drugs to prevent rejection. The goal was to see if they could stop taking insulin and keep blood sugar under control one year later.
