We conclude that insulin independence following pediatric TPIAT is multifactorial and associated with younger age, higher IEQ per kilogram body weight transplanted, and smaller body surface area at time of operation. Higher peak C-peptide measured by MMTT following TPIAT confers a higher likelihood of low insulin requirement.
