Nonalcoholic pancreatogenic diabetes mellitus (type 3c DM) is an often-misdiagnosed entity usually seen in young men of tropical countries. Although most of the patients present with abdominal pain and symptoms of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, there is still a subset that does not present with these classical symptoms, which emphasizes the need for special diagnostic considerations. The significance of identifying this subset of diabetic lies not only in the change in management of the disease but also in early detection for pancreatic carcinoma that is more common among those patients. In our case, ultrasound with X-ray played a vital role in diagnosis, prompting us to consider it as an essential part of the investigation panel in all newly diagnosed nonobese diabetic individuals.

Association between dietary mineral intake and new onset diabetes/pre-diabetes after chronic pancreatitis.
Front Nutr
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology, The Affiliated Hospital to Qingdao University, Qingdao, China.
Background And Aims: As the main type of pancreatic diabetes, patients with new diabetes after chronic pancreatitis are often difficult to manage and have poor prognosis. This study aimed to figure out the association between dietary mineral intake and glucose metabolism with chronic pancreatitis.
Method: The study included 114 patients with chronic pancreatitis, who were grouped based on the sequence of onset for chronic pancreatitis and diabetes: normoglycaemia after chronic pancreatitis (NCP), type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and new-onset diabetes or pre-diabetes after chronic pancreatitis (NODCP).
Accuracy and feasibility of continuous glucose monitoring system in pancreatectomy patients.

Department of Surgery, Division of HBP Surgery & Liver Transplantation, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Purpose: Pancreatectomy patients often experience challenging fluctuations in blood glucose levels; therefore, they require a reliable monitoring system. This study aimed to determine the accuracy and acceptability of a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system compared with the intermittent capillary glucose test in patients who have undergone pancreatectomy.
Methods: Thirty non-diabetic pancreatectomy patients participated.
Pancreatogenic (Type 3c) Diabetes Revealed by Diabetic Ketoacidosis.
Cureus

Internal Medicine, Coimbatore Medical College, Coimbatore, IND.
Pancreatogenic diabetes also known as type 3c diabetes mellitus (DM) is a distinct entity often overlooked and misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes. It results from exocrine pancreatic dysfunction involving both insulin and glucagon deficiencies due to damage to pancreatic beta and alpha cells. This case highlights a 46-year-old male presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a rare but severe complication of type 3c DM.

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.
