Patient Story Julie, a Type 1 diabetic, underwent islet cell transplant at UW Hospital
in 2005. The University of Wisconsin
is conducting an islet cell transplant clinical trial for patients with Type I
diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this trial is to study the effectiveness of
pioglitazone, a medicine which sensitizes the body's cells to insulin, in combination
with islet transplant in selected individuals with Type I diabetes mellitus. The
links on this page provide detailed information about islet cells, the transplant
process and how patients can get involved with the clinical trial. Information
