Baseline, pretransplant assessment (not applicable to total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation patients).

Abbreviations: CGM, continuous glucose monitoring; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin.

a Mean glucose should be used to provide an estimate of the HbA1c, termed the glucose management indicator, in the setting of disordered red blood cell life span.

b Should severe hypoglycemia occur following treatment, then continued benefit may require assessment of hypoglycemia awareness, exposure to serious hypoglycemia (<54 mg/dL [3.0 mmol/L]), and/or glycemic variability/lability with demonstration of improvement from baseline.

c Clinically, benefits of maintaining and monitoring β-cell graft function may outweigh risks of maintaining immunosuppression.

d If severe hypoglycemia was not present before β-cell replacement therapy, then a return to baseline measures of glycemic control used as the indication for treatment (6, 7) may be consistent with β-cell graft failure.

e Categorization of β-cell graft function must first meet treatment outcome based on measures of glucose regulation.

f May not be reliable in uremic patients and/or in those patients with evidence of C-peptide production before β-cell replacement therapy.
