[The authors] conducted a retrospective analysis of pancreas transplantation...to compare glycemic control post pancreas transplantation with newer therapeutic options. [Based on the 134 patients who underwent pancreas transplantation during the 14-year study period, the authors concluded that] pancreas transplant provides superior glycemic control to continuous glucose monitoring and remains the optimal therapy for appropriately selected patients with diabetes.
