Core Tip	Kidney transplantation has been established as a first line treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and diabetic nephropathy, as it is accompanied with a significant survival advantage over dialysis. Pre-emptive living donor kidney transplantation should be the ultimate goal unless there are obvious contraindications and all patients should be referred for early evaluation by a transplant center. There is an ongoing debate about the exact role of simultaneous pancreas kidney transplantation. At the moment it should be offered only in well selected T2DM patients. Bariatric surgery may serve as a bridge for renal transplantation for severely obese T2DM patients with chronic kidney disease.
