Background: Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) can be associated with all types of diabetes.

- Sudomotor dysfunction is a problem with the nerve fibers that help control sweating, which can be linked to a condition called small fiber neuropathy (SFN).
- This study compared a new home device called Body Scan with a hospital device called Sudoscan, to see which one better measures sweat gland activity in patients, especially those with diabetes.
- The Body Scan performed really well in detecting SFN, showing good results in terms of sensitivity and specificity, which means it was accurate in identifying patients who have this nerve issue.
