I have not seen any published, peer-reviewed clinical evidence of the issue you just described in medical journals, but perhaps you are aware of something and would be willing to share the references to these journals? In fact, UNOS (United Network for Organ Sharing) has considerable evidence and documentation to suggest that type 1 patients who underwent pancreas transplantation generally did NOT experience any statistically significant weight gain which would be associated with, as you call it, "going totally bonkers and eating everything they wanted" if this was indeed a widespread problem.
However, I think that its not difficult to imagine that after a lifetime of being denied the very basics of being able to eat without having to measure what is being eaten or dose insulin for it, it seems very likely that patients are very likely to enjoy the newfound freedom that they have long been denied. This is not a disorder, but human nature. A better test would be to ask whether the nondiabetic population could comply with the regimen of injections, restrictions and uncertainty that is expected of the diabetic population? After all, it is well documented that the co-morbidities of depression, eating disorders and family dysfunction have a statistically higher incidence among patients with diabetes, suggesting that these behaviors are not abnormal, but human nature.

One thing that we have go to rememer is that dibeets affects everything, its not just teh organ it is in teh genticso fothsoe who ahve through familial traits, and its in addition to those who ahve itcaused upon them. If its acar accident, i can understand not following.
But thsoe who receiev the organ transplat or piggy back went totally bonkers wiht eatingeverything they wanted, taking only minimal medicationa nd not supplementing their new pancrease with needs and meds. So it was a doomed epxperince ofr so many to begin with.
I think prior to getting either transplant or piggy back the eprson shoudl ahve to go through all kinds of new managment techniques and comply, other wise its a waste. |
