Pancreatic diabetes, also known as Type 3c diabetes, occurs due to damage to the pancreas, which affects both insulin production and digestive enzyme secretion. Unlike Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, this condition is often caused by pancreatitis, pancreatic surgery, cystic fibrosis, or pancreatic cancer. Managing pancreatic diabetes requires a comprehensive approach that addresses both blood sugar control and digestive health.
Our expert endocrinologists use a combination of advanced tests to diagnose pancreatic diabetes, including:
Managing pancreatic diabetes requires a personalized treatment plan that includes:
Since the pancreas is damaged, patients may require insulin therapy instead of oral diabetes medications. Our specialists provide:
Many patients with pancreatic diabetes also suffer from exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), which affects digestion. We provide:
A balanced diet and lifestyle changes play a crucial role in managing pancreatic diabetes. Our team offers:
Since pancreatic diabetes is secondary to pancreatic damage, we focus on treating the root cause:
Pancreatic diabetes occurs due to pancreas damage, affecting both insulin production and digestion. Type 1 is an autoimmune disease, and Type 2 is primarily linked to insulin resistance.
While it cannot be completely reversed, proper treatment, enzyme replacement, and insulin therapy can significantly improve quality of life.
Avoid high-fat foods, processed carbohydrates, and excessive alcohol. A well-balanced diet with controlled carbohydrate intake is recommended.
Most patients require insulin since pancreatic damage affects insulin production. Your doctor will determine the best insulin regimen for you.
Yes, enzyme supplements improve digestion and nutrient absorption, reducing malnutrition-related complications.
