Progression to Insulin Requirement at One Year After Kidney-Alone Transplantation in Insulin-Independent Type 2 Diabetes: Implications for SPK Candidate Selection.

Key takeaways

This study followed 132 people who had a kidney transplant and type 2 diabetes. Most of them needed insulin one year later. This is an observational study, so it shows a link but not proof of cause. It helps doctors decide who might need a pancreas transplant too.
