Abstract
Type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM), also known as pancreatogenic or pancreoprivic diabetes, is a specific type of DM that often develops as a result of diseases affecting the exocrine pancreas, exhibiting an array of hormonal and metabolic characteristics. Several pancreatic exocrine diseases and surgical procedures may cause T3cDM. Diagnosing T3cDM remains difficult as the disease characteristics frequently overlap with clinical presentations of type 1 DM (T1DM) or type 2 DM (T2DM). Managing T3cDM is likewise challenging due to numerous confounding metabolic dysfunctions, including pancreatic endocrine and exocrine insufficiencies and poor nutritional status. Treatment of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency is of paramount importance when managing patients with T3cDM. This review aims to consolidate the latest information on surgical etiologies of T3cDM, focusing on partial pancreatic resections, total pancreatectomy, pancreatic cancer and trauma.

Abstract
Pancreatic exocrine and endocrine dysfunctions often come together in the course of pancreatic diseases as interdependent manifestations of the same organ. However, the mechanisms underlying the bidirectional connection of the exocrine and endocrine pancreas are not fully understood. In this review, we aimed to synthetize the current knowledge regarding the effects of several exocrine pancreatic pathologies on the homeostasis of β-cells, with a special interest in the predisposition toward diabetes mellitus (DM). We focused on the following pancreatic exocrine diseases: chronic pancreatitis, acute pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, pancreatic cancer, pancreatic resections, and autoimmune pancreatitis. We discuss the pathophysiologic mechanisms behind the impact on β-cell function and evolution into DM, as well as the associated risk factors in progression to DM, and we describe the most relevant and statistically significant findings in the literature. An early and correct diagnosis of DM in the setting of pancreatic exocrine disorders is of paramount importance for anticipating the disease's course and its therapeutical needs.

Abstract
Introduction Diabetes secondary to pancreatic diseases is commonly referred to as pancreatogenic diabetes or type 3c diabetes mellitus. This study was conducted to determine the status of diabetes mellitus after Frey’s procedure and lateral pancreaticojejunostomy (LPJ) in diabetic and nondiabetic patients with chronic calcific pancreatitis (CCP) and to discuss the clinicopathological course as well as diabetes in CCP. Materials and methods This study was designed as a retrospective observational study consisting of 27 patients with CCP who were surgically treated either with the pancreatic head coring Frey’s procedure or with LPJ. Surgeries were performed in a tertiary care hospital of Eastern India by a team of surgeons following the same surgical principle. The diagnosis of CCP was made by clinical and radiological evaluations. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scoring was used perioperatively to assess pain. Postoperatively, all the patients were monitored clinically; pain scoring and relevant investigations were done depending upon subjective and objective indications. Special attention was paid to diabetic patients through frequent follow-ups and tight glycemic control. All 27 patients were followed up with at least two outpatient follow-ups. Results The trends in fasting blood sugar values in the LPJ group showed a small spike in the early postoperative period (two weeks) with a p-value of >0.05, and later on, it improved over 18 months of follow-up, reaching below the preoperative values (mean 109.38). On the contrary, the fasting blood glucose levels in Frey’s procedure revealed a significant spike in the early postoperative period (two weeks) with a mean sugar value of 148 mg/dl and a p-value of 0.01. The levels stayed well above the preoperative values over 18 months of follow-up. The trends in HbA1c showed marginal improvement in the LPJ group in a six-month follow-up period (p-value 0.008) from the preoperative levels. In Frey’s procedure group, postoperative HbA1c levels at three months revealed an increase, which can be attributed to the minor but significant loss of pancreatic tissue from the head, which continued to be on the higher side at the six-month follow-up. Trends in mean insulin dosage showed a significant spike in the early postoperative period (two weeks) both in the LPJ (p-value 0.01) and Frey’s procedure group (0.01); however, in the LPJ group, the insulin dose showed a reduction over the 18-month follow-up, reaching below the mean preoperative insulin dose. While in the Frey’s procedure group, the postoperative insulin dose remained higher throughout the 18-month follow-up period (p-value <0.05). Conclusions LPJ has got a little effect on the diabetic status of nondiabetic patients. Frey’s procedure leads to marginal deterioration of the diabetic status and increases in insulin dosage in both diabetic and nondiabetic patients.

The Impact of Pancreatic Head Resection on Blood Glucose Homeostasis in Patients with Chronic Pancreatitis. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11030663. [PMID: 35160113 PMCID: PMC8837045 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11030663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2021] [Revised: 01/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic pancreatitis (CP) often leads to recurrent pain as well as exocrine and/or endocrine pancreatic insufficiency. This study aimed to investigate the effect of pancreatic head resections on glucose metabolism in patients with CP. METHODS Patients who underwent pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD), Whipple procedure (cPD), or duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) for CP between January 2011 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed with regard to markers of pancreatic endocrine function including steady-state beta cell function (%B), insulin resistance (IR), and insulin sensitivity (%S) according to the updated Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA2). RESULTS Out of 141 pancreatic resections for CP, 43 cases including 31 PPPD, 2 cPD and 10 DPPHR, met the inclusion criteria. Preoperatively, six patients (14%) were normoglycemic (NG), 10 patients (23.2%) had impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and 27 patients (62.8%) had diabetes mellitus (DM). In each subgroup, no significant changes were observed for HOMA2-%B (NG: p = 0.57; IGT: p = 0.38; DM: p = 0.1), HOMA2-IR (NG: p = 0.41; IGT: p = 0.61; DM: p = 0.18) or HOMA2-%S (NG: p = 0.44; IGT: p = 0.52; DM: p = 0.51) 3 and 12 months after surgery, respectively. CONCLUSION Pancreatic head resections for CP, including DPPHR and pancreatoduodenectomies, do not significantly affect glucose metabolism within a follow-up period of 12 months.

Abstract
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is characterized by progressive inflammation and fibrosis of the pancreas that eventually leads to pancreatic exocrine and endocrine insufficiency. Diabetes in the background of CP is very difficult to manage due to high glycemic variability and concomitant malabsorption. Progressive beta cell loss leading to insulin deficiency is the cardinal mechanism underlying diabetes development in CP. Alpha cell dysfunction leading to deranged glucagon secretion has been described in different studies using a variety of stimuli in CP. However, the emerging evidence is varied probably because of dependence on the study procedure, the study population as well as on the stage of the disease. The mechanism behind islet cell dysfunction in CP is multifactorial. The intra-islet alpha and beta cell regulation of each other is often lost. Moreover, secretion of the incretin hormones such as glucagon like peptide-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide is dysregulated. This significantly contributes to islet cell disturbances. Persistent and progressive inflammation with changes in the function of other cells such as islet delta cells and pancreatic polypeptide cells are also implicated in CP. In addition, the different surgical procedures performed in patients with CP and antihyperglycemic drugs used to treat diabetes associated with CP also affect islet cell function. Hence, different factors such as chronic inflammation, dysregulated incretin axis, surgical interventions and anti-diabetic drugs all affect islet cell function in patients with CP. Newer therapies targeting alpha cell function and beta cell regeneration would be useful in the management of pancreatic diabetes in the near future.
