pancreas donor

A pancreas donor is a person who has agreed to donate their healthy pancreas (or part of it) after death to someone with diabetes who needs a transplant. The goal is to replace or support the recipient's pancreatic function, helping to control blood sugar levels. Pancreas donation is carefully coordinated to ensure the organs are healthy and suitable for transplantation. This process can significantly improve the quality of life and health for people with severe diabetes, reducing or eliminating their dependence on insulin injections.
