Solution from diabetes from animals?

Is the solution from diabetes from animals(transplanting insulin-producing pancreatic islet cells from pigs) ?

or are there any other ways?

Yes, if there were enough pancreas donors, islet cells from humans would be used more. Sadly, not many people know about this.

The pigs to which you refer, are genetically modified. This does not, however, mean that there are no complications. At the moment, the recipient must continue to take anti-rejection drugs for the rest of their life. Currently there is experimentation going on in the United States to encapsulate the islet cells in a compound derived from seaweed which, apparently, negates the requirement for anti-rejection drugs. We'll have to keep our eyes and ears open to see how successful it is.
