Pancreatogenic Type 3C Diabetes

The study on pancreatogenic type 3C diabetes (T3cDM) involved 261 patients, with 59 diagnosed with T3cDM, and found it was more prevalent in men. It highlighted that T3cDM, often misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes, is linked to chronic pancreatitis and presents unique clinical features like glycemic lability. The study emphasized the need for more research to improve diagnosis and treatment, noting that patients with chronic pancreatitis, especially those with alcohol and tobacco use, are at higher risk. It also stressed the importance of nutritional management to prevent malnutrition, despite limitations such as a small sample size. The study concluded that T3cDM requires further exploration for better diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
