Abstract
- Diabetes can develop as a direct consequence of diseases of the exocrine pancreas. Diabetes due to diseases of the exocrine pancreas is described as pancreatogenic diabetes or type 3c diabetes. Pancreatogenic diabetes is not commonly recognized by clinicians and is frequently misclassified as type 1 diabetes or, more commonly, type 2 diabetes. The prevalence and clinical importance of pancreatogenic diabetes have been underestimated and underappreciated. Pancreatogenic diabetes has a unique pattern of hormonal and metabolic characteristics. The failure to correctly diagnose pancreatogenic diabetes leads to failure to implement an appropriate medical therapy in these patients. We will review the clinical implications and relevance of pancreatogenic diabetes.
