Answer 1

It is possible to do a pancreas transplant, but it’s indicated only in people who have also a kidney failure, therefore it’s a double transplant, kidney and pancreas.

Keep in mind that when you receive a transplant of any kind you’ll have to do a immunosuppressive treatment for the rest of your life. It’s far more easy and safe to use insulin and enzymes for the rest of your life!
