    I will receive a whole organ with extra cells to produce insulin.

    Explanation:

    The maintenance of glucose level in the body is important and the levels are maintained by the hormone insulin and glucagon. The abnormal secretion of insulin in the body is responsible for the diabetes in the individual.

    The patient has undergone the islet cell transplant. The transplanted cell lose their function over time. These insulin cells remain in function for 2 years. Later the insulin amount and its frequency of administration reduces with time because blood glucose levels get improved. This islet transplant is not responsible for curing the diabetes. Hence, the transplant of whole organ requires for the cells to produce insulin.

    Thus, the correct answer is option (a).
