Abstract:
Preview Blindness, amputation, renal failure, premature coronary artery disease, disabling autonomic neuropathy: Most patients with type I diabetes mellitus must eventually confront one or more of these dire complications.

According to the authors, the procedure is an exciting alternative to kidney transplantation alone or to dialysis.
