  1. it is good to see you performing the complecated surgery. but you have remove the tail of pancrease which is said to be rich of ilets of langerhans. so what is postop status of patient as far as blood sugar homeostasis is concern? is patient doing well? living a good quality of life?

  2. pt is nondiabetic after5 month of surgery, as it is knownthat maximum 80%of b cells are there in head and body so least chances of developing d.m. due to surgical resection
