Abstract

The goal of the pancreatic transplantation is to restore the glucose homeostasis to prevent or improve secondary complications to diabetes and improving the quality of life. Successful transplantations have a good metabolic controlling. These might be or not associated to hyperinsulinemia and increased insulin resistance. HOMA may be useful in evaluating post-transplant beta-cell function.
