Secondary objectives of the study are:
1. Compare the side effects of the immunosuppressive medications between both groups. This will include anaphylactic reactions, GI side-effects, bone marrow suppression, renal dysfunction, hypertension, hyperglycemic effects, and effects on lipid profile.
2. Compare the incidence of infections between both groups.
Comparison parameters are:
1. Pancreas and kidney graft failure
2. Patient death
3. Clinical and biopsy documented rejection episodes
4. Patient dropout (non-compliance with the study protocol)
5. Kidney function as assessed by creatinine clearance or biopsy
6. Need to change immunosuppression regimen
7. Quality-adjusted Life Years
