Brief Summary
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in which the insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells are destroyed, resulting in poor blood sugar control. The purpose of this study is to asses...
Detailed Description
T1D is commonly treated with the administration of insulin, either by multiple insulin injections or by a continuous supply of insulin through a wearable pump. Insulin therapy allows long-term surviva...

- Other (non-kidney) organ transplants except prior failed pancreatic graft
- Body mass index (BMI) \>30 kg/m\^2
- Insulin requirement of \>1.0 IU/kg/day
- Consistently abnormal liver function tests (aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT),alkaline phosphatase, or total bilirubin) of greater than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal for two consecutive measurements that are \>2 weeks apart

- Any history of malignancy except for completely resected squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin
- Known history of severe co-existing cardiac disease, characterized by any one of the following conditions:
- Recent myocardial infarction (\<=6 months)
- Evidence of ischemia on functional cardiac exam \<=last year
