Beta-cell transplantation can be either a whole organ pancreas transplant or an islet cell transplant; both have resulted in restoration of a normoglycemic state. These transplants can be performed in conjunction with kidney transplants or as solitary grafts. In general, whole organ transplants have more sustained and durable function and are more widely available than their islet counterparts, but entail a much more invasive procedure. Beta-cell transplantation continues to evolve, with considerable improvement in results over the past two decades, and is a cost-effective option for select patients with type 1 diabetes.
β细胞移植可以是全器官胰腺移植或胰岛细胞移植；两者都能使血糖恢复正常。这些移植可以与肾移植同时进行，也可以作为单独的移植。一般来说，全器官移植的功能更持久、更耐用，而且比胰岛移植更容易获得，但需要更具侵入性的手术。β细胞移植仍在不断发展，在过去二十年中取得了显著的成果改善，对于特定的1型糖尿病患者来说是一种具有成本效益的选择。
