Allogenic Islet Cells (Human, U. of Chicago) Administered Via Intraportal Infusion; and Immunosuppressive Therapy
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of transplanting human islet cells for controlling hyperglycemia in brittle and/or complex patients with type 1 diabetes. In addition, initial observations will be made with regards to the effectiveness of reversing hypoglycemia with this treatment. The "Edmonton Protocol" of using specific anti-rejection drugs without steroids is also being evaluated.
