Who are likely recipients of the pig islet?

Likely recipients of pig islets are individuals with type 1 Diabetes who experience severe insulin deficiency and are not achieving adequate glycemic control with conventional therapies. These patients may also include those with hypoglycemia unawareness or complications from diabetes that warrant more advanced treatment options. Additionally, recipients may be those awaiting human pancreas transplants or those with limited access to donor organs. Pig islets offer a potential solution to address the shortage of human islet donors.
