Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
For treating diabetes pancreas transplant is considered to be a permanent cure. But the this is one of the very difficult procedures, not yet very commonly done. Secondly availability of live pancreas is the most difficult problem. It still a very experimental procedure, may take years to become a reality. There are experiments going on for stem cell generated pancreatic cells formation, but still at lab level. Thanks.

Really there is no clear answer to this. Depends on the person to person. Usually after a kidney transplant, the person is kept on immunosuppressive therapy. That means he or she is get on. That prevent body's immune system. So it is not advisable to run for a long period of time or to do any exercise that stretches your bodily limits. However, normal running can be resumed after six months to one year. Again, it depends on person to person basis and only your nephrologist can tell you exactly.

An elevated urea and creatinine indicates the kidneys are not working (called renal failure). Although urea is filtered into the urine by the kidney, some of the filtered urea will get reabsorbed and reused by the body.

Sir,
please try to understand my answer. There is no way you can stop dialysis except kidney transplant which has high failure rate. Also you may have to take multiple immunosuppressants which will again predispose you to infection. Overall it would be more painful than your current condition. At the age of 72 years, my advice would be to continue the same.
