Pancreatogenic diabetes mellitus is most commonly the result of chronic pancreatitis but can also occur secondary to pancreatic cancer. The early identification of pancreatogenic diabetes and distinction from the more prevalent type 2 diabetes are clinically significant; however, currently, there is no validated method to differentiate these diabetes subtypes. We describe a study, "Evaluation of a Mixed Meal Test for Diagnosis and Characterization of PancrEaTogEniC DiabeTes Secondary to Pancreatic Cancer and Chronic Pancreatitis: the DETECT study," that seeks to address this knowledge gap. The DETECT study is a multicenter study that will examine differences in hormone and glucose excursions after a mixed meal test. The study will also create a biorepository that will be used to evaluate novel diagnostic biomarkers for differentiating these diabetes subtypes.

Benign, premalignant or low-grade malignant pancreatic tumors are increasingly diagnosed owing to the widespread uptake of cross-sectional imaging. Surgical excision is a potential treatment option for these tumors. Pancreatoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy are the standard resections for tumors located in the pancreatic head-neck or body-tail, respectively, and not uncommonly sacrifice a significant amount of healthy pancreatic parenchyma.

Article Synopsis
- Pancreatogenic diabetes mellitus is becoming more prominent due to its high rates of occurrence, complications, and mortality, with glycemic variability (GV) being a key risk factor.
- Effective management of GV is essential for preventing this type of diabetes and improving patient outcomes, yet many patients receive inadequate or potentially harmful medications.
- This study aims to explore the connection between GV and pancreatogenic diabetes, investigate underlying mechanisms, and offer lifestyle tips and better medication choices for managing GV in affected patients.

Article Synopsis
- * After ruling out common causes like insulin use and sepsis, other potential causes, such as nesidioblastosis (a rare form of hypoglycemia), should be investigated.
- * A case study of a non-diabetic male with symptoms like dizziness and palpitations revealed that he had nesidioblastosis instead of insulinoma, demonstrating the importance of thorough evaluation.
Challenges of Managing Type 3c Diabetes in the Context of Pancreatic Resection, Cancer and Trauma.

Type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM), also known as pancreatogenic or pancreoprivic diabetes, is a specific type of DM that often develops as a result of diseases affecting the exocrine pancreas, exhibiting an array of hormonal and metabolic characteristics. Several pancreatic exocrine diseases and surgical procedures may cause T3cDM. Diagnosing T3cDM remains difficult as the disease characteristics frequently overlap with clinical presentations of type 1 DM (T1DM) or type 2 DM (T2DM).

Article Synopsis
- Pancreatic surgery is complex and can lead to significant complications; centralizing these services in large-volume centers has improved patient outcomes.
- The editorial emphasizes the link between diabetes mellitus and pancreatic disease, stressing the importance of specialist diabetes teams in managing patients undergoing pancreatic surgery, particularly those with type 3c pancreatogenic diabetes.
- Effective preoperative diabetes assessment and early intervention by diabetes experts are crucial for optimizing glycemic control and improving outcomes in patients with complex pancreatitis.
