| Description | In 2011 and subsequently in 2012, the American Diabetes Association (ADA), together with the WHO, defined a new type of diabetes in connection with the disease of the exocrine pancreas. For this type of diabetes, the term pancreatogenic diabetes was used, or type 3c diabetes mellitus (DM3c, T3cDM). So far, the terms secondary pancreatic diabetes and diabetes of the exocrine pancreas (DEP) – as a synonym for the two abovementioned terms – have still been used. In 2022, at the congress of the European Pancreatic Club another term appeared, namely post-pancreatitis DM (PPDM). Diabetes of the exocrine pancreas is characterized by exocrine and endocrine dysfunction of the pancreas, involving not only insulin secretion but also pancreatic polypeptide producing cells. In the current review, authors present the current knowledge about this increasingly prevalent disease. |
