Post-Transplant Diabetes

Post-Transplant Diabetes is a condition that can occur in some patients after receiving an organ transplant, such as a kidney or pancreas. After the transplant, the body may struggle to regulate blood sugar levels due to the medications used to prevent organ rejection, which can affect insulin production and function. This can lead to high blood sugar levels, similar to diabetes. Regular monitoring and management of blood sugar are important for these patients to maintain their health and ensure the success of the transplant. It’s crucial for patients to work closely with their healthcare team for proper care.
