Summary

The purpose of the study is to learn if islet transplantation is an effective treatment for Type 1 diabetes in people who have had a kidney transplant. The primary objectives of the study are: - To set up islet transplantation in patients who have had a kidney transplant and who are using an immunosuppressive regimen that works The Secondary objective of the study is: * To find out if successful islet transplantation leads to improved metabolic control and reduced renal complication from diabetes
