Likely no.
T1 or uhh, brittle(?) diabetes is where your pancreas just doesnt exist. Gone. I had a relative who got a nasty viral "flu". 2 weeks later their pancreas was eaten and gone. Thats when I found out viral T1 diabetes was a thing.
T2 is a whole different thing, where your cells get resistant to insulin, the similar way you can get resistant to caffeine. And it takes insulin+glucose to get energy. So you end up with more glucose in your bloodstream cause your cells wont "eat" it fast enough.
Eventually, T2 will damage and destroy the pancreas. That takes years though. But even if you do a islet replacement, you still have the resistance problem.
