The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety of allogenic islet transplantation in type 1 diabetic patients performed at the University of Virginia. The purpose is to demonstrate that islet transplantation can be performed safely and reliably achieves better glycemic control than state-of-the-art insulin treatment in management of type 1 diabetic patients with brittle control and a history of severe hypoglycemic episodes with hypoglycemia unawareness.
