Long term care after a pancreas transplant

You can call (352) 265-0254 or (800) 749-7424 ext 5-0254 to make a referral to the pancreas transplant program at the Shands Transplant Center at the University of Florida.

Your transplant team will continue your pancreas care. At this point, though, the most important member of the team is you! Without your active support, the team's best efforts cannot succeed. As the lifetime caretaker of your new pancreas, you will need to:

Make sure you have healthy daily habits that include a good diet and regular exercise
Follow your medication schedule
Check your weight, temperature, blood pressure and pulse periodically
Talk to your transplant team regularly
Keep to your schedule for lab tests and check-ups
Make sure all of your doctors know about your medications and care
