No-the pancreas is a vital organ and there isn't a machine or any medications that can perform its functions.

Here's a little different take on the subject of diabetes--
There are many things you can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.
Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:
Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate
Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. Everything on the above list has a use in fighting diabetes. If you are serious about learning how to use these herbs and not falling victim to diabetes needlessly, I suggest getting a copy of--
"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313
The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which was first availale in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.

I live without mine. Well...it's still in there...but it doesn't work. If it wasn't for the "artificial pancreas" that is even now clipped to the waistband of my sweatpants, I would not be around...unless I were to take shots of insulin multiple times a day. The "artificial pancreas" is the insulin pump. The pancreas does have other functions but it's primary function is to produce insulin. If yours doesn't work or doesn't work properly, insulin or oral diabetes medications would have to take the place of it. EMT Type 1, pump user

yes and yes, but with medications.
juvenile diabetes (type I diabetes) is not actually complete pancreas failure, just failure of the beta cells of the pancreas. The beta cells make insulin. The other part functions well.
The other part produce digestive enzymes. This is a digestive enzyme. It can be taken as a pill.

No I do not believe you can live without a pancreas. You can get a transplant and as for a diabetic with proper diet and medication the person should do fine.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

Yes, but you will be diabetic and have to take insulin to regulate blood sugar concentration and pancreatic enzyme supplements to aid digestion.
*No offense to some of the other people who answered this question, but this is an example of not being able to trust people's answers. People who have no idea try to answer and are incorrect.

It is possible to live without your pancreas provided you take insulin to regulate blood sugar concentration and pancreatic enzyme supplements to aid digestion.
