About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus focused on measuring Islet transplantation, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, Kidney Transplantation

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 60 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, who have a stable functioning renal transplant, are taking the appropriate maintenance immunosuppression and have no severe health problems that preclude them receiving an islet transplant will be considered for inclusion.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have a history of or findings suggestive of unstable diabetic complications (e.g. active eye disease)
  • Active infections (clinically or by laboratory testing)
  • History of current malignancy or suspicion of malignancy until properly investigated and excluded
  • Liver or biliary abnormalities
  • Unstable cardiovascular disease
  • Findings to suggest immunological sensitization or those women who have the potential to get pregnant and are not using a sufficient method of contraception
