There are OTHER factors involved with diabetes.
There are substances made by the fat cells, that drive insulin resistance at the cell level in the tissues. I believe there is a procedure now to inject just the Islet cells into the pancreas for type I. http://www.isletsofhope.com/diabetes...nsplant_1.html no need to replace the whole pancreas.. this procedure if adopted would be much easier on the patient etc.
