Management withPERT
When enzyme replacement therapy is initiated, a number of important principles must be followed. The normal pancreas produces around 900,000 USP units of
lipase with each meal (more than 12,000 units/kg/meal
in an average- sized adult). As noted above, a rule of
thumb is that approximately 10% of normal pancreatic
enzyme secretion can avoid steatorrhea (and presumably
the associated nutritional consequences). That would
suggest that a typical- sized adult would need 90,000 USP
units per meal. Also as noted above, there are alternative
and compensatory mechanisms for nutrient absorption,
and the pancreas may still be producing some enzymes.
In many practice guidelines, a starting dose of 40,000–
50,000 USP units of lipase per meal is suggested[1,2,20,23,24]. Typically, half this amount is taken
with snacks. It is entirely appropriate to allow the patient
to titrate the dose to the relative fat content of the meal.
The enzymes need to be delivered during the meal, to
achieve maximal mixing. The enzyme products can also
be prescribed in a weightticularly appropriate for infants and children[27].
The enzymes should be taken during the meal or
snack, for maximal mixing with the meal. In practice,
taking some of the pills during the meal and some with
the last bite is often suggested. Many patients do not
receive clear instructions on how to take the PERT.
In the United States, five products are currently available (Table54.2). These are of variable potency, and by
convention the products are identified by their lipase
content. All are of porcine origin. With the exception of
one, all are enteric coated and release their enzyme contents at approximately pH 5.5 or greater. In patients with
chronic pancreatitis, diminished bicarbonate secretion
may acidify the duodenum and proximal jejunum, and
delay the release of these enzymes. Some studies, but not
all, have noted increased proximal release of enzymes
when acid-
suppressing medications (proton pump
inhibitor, or H2 receptor antagonist) are also utilized.
These are not routinely required when using these
enteric- coated formulations, but can be added when
response is less than optimal [23]. When using a nonenteric coated product, an acid- reducing medication is
required to prevent acid denaturation of the enzymes.
In systematic reviews and meta- analyses of PERT therapy[28,29] in chronic pancreatitis, it is noteworthy that
PERT improves but does not normalize fat digestion. The
CFA improves from a baseline of 63–67%, to around 83%.
Simply put, the current PERT products are not as effective as a normal pancreas. PERT therapy does improve
symptoms such as steatorrhea, weight loss, and postprandial bloating and gas. PERT improves quality of life and
various nutritional parameters in patients with chronic
based algorithm, which is par-

pancreatitis[1,23,30]. Similar improvements are seen in
those with EPI due to pancreatic cancer[30,31]. Limited
data support some modest reduction in mortality with
the use of PERT as well. These benefits are substantial,
but a number of barriers exist preventing the appropriate
use of PERT therapy. First and foremost, the lack of a
widely available and accurate diagnostic test hampers the
ability to identify patients who would benefit.
Many patients with diseases causing EPI are not identified, and many are not treated with adequate dosage. In
one survey of 91 European patients with previous pancreatic surgery, the median dosage of lipase was 50,000 U/
meal, but many were on half this dose and the majority
had ongoing steatorrhea despite therapy[32]. In a second
survey of patients with EPI due to chronic pancreatitis,
the median starting dose was 25,000 U/meal, and the
majority of patients had ongoing steatorrhea or weight
loss[33]. In a large US administrative database[34], only
6.5% of patients with chronic pancreatitis were tested for
EPI and only 10% received a PERT prescription of a minimally effective dosage. Only 2% of pancreatic cancer
patients had testing for EPI, and only 5% received a prescription for a minimally effective dosage. Taken together,
these studies demonstrate that even those at high risk of
EPI are infrequently tested and infrequently treated for
EPI. An additional impediment to appropriate use of
PERT, at least in some countries, is the cost. In the USA,
no generic products are available, and the cost without
insurance may approach $2000/monthly. In the USA, at
least one- third of PERT prescriptions are never filled,
likely due to cost.
There are a variety of dietary recommendations[1,2,20,24], but limited science to support these. It
is generally recommended to follow a relatively low- fat
diet, but very low- fat diets put the patient at risk of fatsoluble vitamin deficiency. Many pancreatologists do

not restrict lipids. Smaller, more frequent meals are also
often recommended. A diet rich in complex carbohydrates, low in insoluble fiber, and containing at least
1.5 gm/kg of protein daily is commonly recommended.
Failure toRespond toPERT Therapy
Effective therapy with PERT should stop steatorrhea,
allow gain of weight and muscle mass, and correct deficiencies of vitamins and trace elements. EPI is associated
with a number of common nutritional consequences,
including sarcopenia, weight loss, fat- soluble vitamin
deficiency, and osteopenia and osteoporosis, to name
just a few. These are discussed in Chapters53 and 55.
Adequate PERT therapy is defined by improvement, and
hopefully normalization, in these clinical and laboratory
features and nutritional consequences. Although measuring the improvement in digestion on PERT with a fecal
fat analysis or breath test would be useful to gauge the
adequacy of PERT therapy, this is rarely possible.
Measuring fecal elastase provides no information on the
effectiveness of therapy. The most common reason for
failure of PERT is an inadequate dose. As noted
above[32–34], this is an exceedingly common problem,
likely due to a lack of knowledge in medical professionals
writing the prescription. Providing an appropriate dosage, and reinforcing the timing of the PERT is the first
step in patients who do not seem to be responding as
expected to PERT. In patients who are not responding,
increasing the dosage to 90,000
higher) is appropriate as an initial step [23]. In some
patients, lipase may be inactivated by gastric acid (a
U/meal (or sometimes
common issue with the uncoated tablets). Some data
demonstrate that acid-
reducing medications might allow
more proximal release of digestive enzymes from entericcoated preparations as well, and this is recommended for
nonresponders in some guidelines[23].
In those who do not respond despite appropriate
dosage and timing, consideration should be given to
alternative diagnoses. The most common is small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), with symptoms and
features that are indistinguishable from EPI. In one systematic review, SIBO can be found in 36% of patients
with chronic pancreatitis[35]. This is even more common
in those with EPI after gastrointestinal surgery [36].
The reason that SIBO is so common is not known, but
could reflect a reduction in bactericidal effect of pancreatic digestive enzymes, side effect of opioid therapy,
or associated diabetes with enteral neuropathy. Breath
testing for SIBO, or empiric antibiotic treatment, can
be considered in those who do not respond as anticipated to PERT. In those who do not respond to PERT
and have significant weight loss, consideration can also
be given to a secondary pancreatic or extrapancreatic
malignancy, or to other causes of malabsorption or
maldigestion unrelated to the pancreatic disease (e.g.,
celiac disease).
EPI is common in patients with benign and malignant
pancreatic diseases, and in those with previous pancreatic surgery. Appropriate management requires an
understanding of compensatory mechanisms that allow
digestion and absorption despite EPI, the lack of an accurate diagnostic test, the appropriate dosage and timing of
PERT, and the ongoing management of the variety of
nutritional consequences of EPI.

Bone Disease inChronic Pancreatitis
Sinead N. Duggan
Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
Introduction
Patients with chronic pancreatitis have a higher- thannormal risk of developing low bone mineral density
(BMD) and osteoporosis[1]. Osteoporosis is characterized by compromised bone strength cause by bone mass
loss and bone quality deterioration, resulting in increased
fracture risk [2]. In patients with chronic pancreatitis,
the high prevalence of osteoporosis translates into a
higher prevalence of low- trauma (fragility) fractures
compared to healthy controls[3,4]. The etiology of osteoporosis in chronic pancreatitis is multifactorial; low
serum 25(OH)D, suboptimal dietary intake, heavy smoking, low physical activity, chronic inflammation, and
malabsorption are all likely to contribute[5,6]. Patients
with chronic pancreatitis develop osteoporosis despite
the absence of additional risk factors (such as long- term
steroid use or hypogonadism) that drive bone demineralization in other gastrointestinal conditions [7]. The
economic cost of osteoporosis and fracture is considerable. Hip fractures are associated with an 8–36% increase
in mortality within 1 year, and approximately a fifth of
patients with hip fracture require long-
term nursing
care[2,8]. By 2025, in the United States, it is projected
that there will be greater than three million fractures
annually costing more than $25 billion per year[2].
Measures ofBone Density andBone
Metabolism
DXA is considered the clinical gold standard for the
measurement of bone mass[9]. DXA works by generating an image of bone mineral content (BMC, g calcium)
when the X- ray tube is scanned over the area of interest.
Software uses an algorithm to yield BMD (g/cm2) from
BMC and bone area (cm
2
)[10]. Absolute measurements
of BMD are of little value, as they are determined by the
site of measurement, the calibration used by the manufacturer and the particular instrument[10]. BMD deteriorates with age; therefore, age- related changes need to
be considered. Because of machine and skeletal site differences, BMD results are noted by a derived statistical
value, the T- score. Bone density measurements follow a
Gaussian distribution, and therefore are described as the
number of standard deviations (SD)[11] from the mean
for normal controls. Therefore, the T- score is not an
absolute value, but the number of SD above or below the
BMD average value in young healthy adults[11] (representing “peak bone mass”). For example, a T- score of
- 2.5 indicates that an individual’s BMD is 2.5 SD below
(young adult) average. Bone density is divided into several categories: normal (T- score >- 1), osteopenia
(T- score - 1 to - 2.5), and osteoporosis (T- score <- 2.5).
Although DXA is the primary diagnostic tool for bone
health assessment[12], it is limited by the fact that bone
mineral density changes so slowly that DXA is not
always suitable for monitoring the effects of treatment.
Bone remodeling in the adult skeleton is a dynamic and
continuous process with a tightly coupled balance
between resorption of old micro-
damaged bone and
formation of new bone. The bone remodeling cycle is a
coordinated action between osteoclasts (bone resorption cells) and osteoblasts (bone formation cells), and an
imbalance of either formation or resorption can lead to
substantial deterioration in bone strength over time.
Biochemical markers of bone metabolism (bone turnover markers, BTM) can provide an accurate, noninvasive assessment of bone formation, resorption, and
turnover. BTM include serum carboxy- terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX- I) for bone resorption
and serum procollagen 1 amino- terminal propeptide

(P1NP) and osteocalcin for bone formation [5,13]. In
chronic pancreatitis, the chronic inflammatory state
(characterized by high levels of proinflammatory
cytokines) is associated with higher bone turnover [7].
Therefore, in addition to DXA, these measures of bone
activity may have a role in the overall management of
bone health in chronic pancreatitis.
The Risk ofDeveloping Osteoporosis
andFracture inChronic Pancreatitis
In the only meta- analysis on this topic to date (published in 2014), two- thirds (65%) of 513 patients who
had undergone dual X- ray absorptiometry (DXA) had
osteoporosis or osteopenia[1]. Only two of the included
studies were controlled, with osteoporosis prevalence
among healthy controls of 8.6–10.2% [14,15]. These
findings have been largely corroborated by more recent
reports confirming that most patients with chronic pancreatitis have either osteoporosis or osteopenia[16–18],
although in the first report from China, just over a third
of those with chronic pancreatitis had low BMD [19].
Importantly, low BMD translates into a real risk of lowtrauma fracture. A US study[4] reported that the risk of
fracture in chronic pancreatitis (4.8%) was similar (or
higher), than in other gastrointestinal disorders such as
celiac disease (5%), Crohn’s disease (3%), postgastrectomy (5.4%) or cirrhosis (4.8%). The rate among
healthy controls was 1.1%. Similarly, a European
study[3] reported a higher fracture rate among chronic
pancreatitis compared to controls (adjusted hazard ratio
of 1.7 [95% CI: 1.6, 1.8]).
Management
Given that osteoporosis is costly and largely preventable—
coupled with the lack of clinical trials investigating
treatments for osteoporosis in chronic pancreatitis—
clinicians must focus on prevention[6,20]. The high risk
of developing osteoporosis dictates that basic preventative measures should be advised for all chronic pancreatitis patients. Although some risk factors are
nonmodifiable (increasing age, female sex, history of
previous low- trauma fracture, and family history of osteoporosis), the modifiable risk factors should be
addressed [5]. This includes correcting poor diet (particularly adequate calcium and vitamin D intake), recognizing and treating malabsorption with adequate
pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, preventing/
treating underweight body mass index, ensuring regular
weight- bearing exercise, and emphasizing the importance of smoking and alcohol avoidance for bone health.
Vitamin D supplementation may be required to optimize
levels of serum 25(OH)D, and safe sunshine exposure
should also be encouraged. According to the HaPanEU
guidelines [20], all patients with chronic pancreatitis
should undergo regular serum 25(OH)D assessment and
a baseline DXA at diagnosis, with a follow- up DXA every
2 years. Particular attention should be given to those at
higher risk including post- menopausal women, those
who have had previous low- trauma fractures, men >50
years, and those with malabsorption.
For those with confirmed osteoporosis (or who have
vertebral fractures), appropriate osteoporosis medication such as bisphosphonates should be prescribed
(although the lack of published interventional studies on
therapeutic agents for osteoporosis in chronic pancreatitis constitutes a critical research gap). As well as ensuring that the basic measures for bone health (described
above) are implemented, referral to a bone specialist is
highly recommended. In the United States, there is evidence that pancreas specialists are more likely than primary care physicians or gastroenterologists to address
bone health [21], therefore ongoing education, awareness campaigns, and promotion of bone health for
chronic pancreatitis is vital.

Introduction
Pancreatic diseases frequently induce not only pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) but also endocrine
impairment, which result in the development of diabetes
mellitus. Diabetes from exocrine pancreatic disease,
namely, pancreatic diabetes or type 3c diabetes, is categorized as secondary diabetes that is associated with
various pancreatic diseases, such as acute or chronic
pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, as well as pancreatic
resection[1–9]. Although type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are well studied, research on pancreatic diabetes is
limited, and its characteristics remain unclear. Sustained
inflammation and fibrotic change due to pancreatic diseases lead to β- cell loss and reduced insulin secretion,
and this is the most common pathogenesis of pancreatic
diabetes. In addition, the levels of pancreatic counterregulatory hormones, such as glucagon, are decreased in
these patients. Malnutrition resulting from PEI should
also be monitored. Therefore, recognizing the differences between pancreatic diabetes and other types of
diabetes is very important to achieve good glycemic control and ensure an appropriate quality of life in patients
with pancreatic diabetes.
Definition, Prevalence, andEtiology
ofPancreatic Diabetes
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) categorizes
pancreatic diabetes as a “specific type of diabetes due to
other causes” and distinct from type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Pancreatic diabetes includes both structural and functional loss of glucose- normalizing insulin
secretion due to pancreatic exocrine dysfunction [1]. It
has been called “type 3c diabetes” that is derived from
diverse etiologies including pancreatitis (acute, chronic,
or hereditary), pancreatic trauma, pancreatectomy, neoplasia, cystic fibrosis, hemochromatosis, and fibrocalculous pancreatopathy. However, the most common cause
of pancreatic diabetes is chronic pancreatitis. In routine
clinical practice, patients with pancreatic diabetes have
been misdiagnosed as having type 2 diabetes.
The prevalence of pancreatic diabetes among all types
of diabetes in Western populations has been reported to
be 5–10%[4,6]. Ewald etal.[10] studied 1868 patients
diagnosed as having diabetes over a 2-
year period and
reported that 172 of these patients (9.2%) could be classified as having pancreatic diabetes. In contrast, a
nationwide survey in Japan revealed that patients with
true pancreatic diabetes (newly developed diabetes
associated with pancreatic disease) who received treatment in 2005 accounted for only 0.8% of all patients
with diabetes [11]. A more recent large retrospective
cohort study from England revealed 559 out of
31,789new diagnoses of adult-
onset diabetes were cases
of diabetes following pancreatic disease (1.8%) [12].
Although the prevalence of pancreatic diabetes differs
among studies, clinicians should always consider the
possibility of pancreatic diabetes when they first make a
diagnosis of diabetes. If the accurate diagnosis of pancreatic diabetes and prognosis of pancreatic disease
improve, the prevalence of pancreatic diabetes may
increase in the future.
Chronic pancreatitis has been well recognized as a
major cause of pancreatic diabetes, but a cohort study in
New Zealand found that acute pancreatitis is the most frequent preceding disease. In that study, acute pancreatitis

accounted for 61% of the overall prevalence of diseases of
the exocrine pancreas [13]. In another study by Ewald
et al. [10], the underlying pancreatic diseases included
chronic pancreatitis (78.5%), pancreatic cancer (8.1%),
hereditary hemochromatosis (7.0%), and cystic fibrosis
(4.1%), as well as pancreatic resection (2.3%). Ito etal.[11]
reported that the causal factors of pancreatic diabetes
were chronic pancreatitis (40.0%), pancreatic cancer
(24.6%), pancreatectomy (10.2%), acute pancreatitis
(7.5%), and autoimmune pancreatitis (6.1%).
Patients with chronic pancreatitis frequently have
diabetes as a comorbidity, even though its occurrence
varies widely from 5% to >80% [2,14–16]. In a study
conducted in the United States, 383 out of 1171
patients (32.7%) with chronic pancreatitis had diabetes [17]. A multicenter Italian survey also reported
endocrine insufficiency in 31% of patients with chronic
pancreatitis[18]. The duration of chronic pancreatitis
is a well- known and significant risk factor for the
development of diabetes. A large- scale study from
China that included 1633 patients revealed a cumulative rate of diabetes mellitus of 21.7% at 10 years after
the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis[19]. In a follow up survey of patients with chronic pancreatitis without
diabetes, 121 of 418 patients (28.9%) were newly diagnosed as having diabetes over a period of 8 years[20].
A recent nationwide epidemiological survey of chronic
pancreatitis in Japan also showed that patients with
advanced- stage chronic pancreatitis (definite/probable
cases) had a higher proportion of diabetes than did
those with early- stage chronic pancreatitis (42.3% vs.
19.3%) [21]. A systematic review and meta- analysis
involving 8970 patients from 15 studies reported that
the incidence of new- onset diabetes after chronic pancreatitis diagnosis was 30%. The prevalence of newly
diagnosed diabetes was 15% within 36months, and it
increased to 33% after 60months from the diagnosis of
chronic pancreatitis[22]. Therefore, the prevalence of
pancreatic diabetes and chronic pancreatitis as an
underlying disease seems far underestimated because
many patients with diabetes do not undergo any evaluation of pancreatic exocrine diseases and many patients
with chronic pancreatitis do not undergo any evaluation of diabetes.
Alcohol consumption was the most common cause of
chronic pancreatitis, and it accounted for 72.0% of cases
in a recent nationwide survey in Japan[21]. Ito etal. also
reported that alcohol consumption was the main causal
factor for chronic pancreatitis in patients with pancreatic diabetes (77.3%, 231/299)[11]. In a long- term study
of 2037 patients with chronic pancreatitis, 28.8%
(587/2037) developed diabetes during a median follow up period of 7.6 years [24]. Furthermore, the development of diabetes was significantly earlier and more
common in alcoholic chronic pancreatitis than in idiopathic chronic pancreatitis. The cumulative rates of diabetes development at 10 years after the onset of chronic
pancreatitis was 29.7% and 21.7% in patients with alcoholic and idiopathic chronic pancreatitis, respectively.
Smoking is another important factor associated with
the development of diabetes in chronic pancreatitis.
Many reports have documented a relationship between
smoking and the progression of chronic pancreatitis [21,25–29], which is inevitably associated with the
development of diabetes. Maisonneuve et al. reported
that smoking was associated with a significant increase
in the risk of developing diabetes (hazard ratio, 2.3) after
the diagnosis of pancreatitis [26]. Therefore, patients
with chronic pancreatitis and diabetes should take steps
to improve their lifestyle via abstinence from alcohol and
smoking cessation.
Pancreatic calcification is a key finding in the diagnosis
of chronic pancreatitis and is involved in disease progression. Several studies have revealed a correlation
between pancreatic calcification and the development of
diabetes[7,20,23,30]. The risk of diabetes increased 1.32fold after the onset of pancreatic calcification [20]. A
study from China also revealed pancreatic calcification
as a risk factor for the development of diabetes mellitus
(hazard ratio, 2.326) [30]. Therefore, it is important to
recognize pancreatic calcification not only as an indicator of advanced chronic pancreatitis (exocrine insufficiency) but also as an indicator of impaired pancreatic
endocrine function.
Clinical Characteristics ofPancreatic
Diabetes
Risk Factors forthe Development of
Diabetes inChronic Pancreatitis
The risk factors for diabetes in patients with chronic
pancreatitis include alcohol consumption, smoking, and
pancreatic calcification, which are also the risk factors
for the progression of chronic pancreatitis[11,21,23,24].
Pancreatic diabetes is characterized by the impaired
synthesis and secretion of insulin from β cells and
glucagon from α cells because of primary pancreatic
diseases [20]. Furthermore, PEI resulting from the
decreased secretion or outflow obstruction of pancreatic juice induces the impaired absorption of glucose.
Since the degree of impairment in pancreatic endocrine and exocrine functions differs in each patient,

the pathophysiology and treatment of pancreatic diabetes are complicated. Pancreatic diabetes is also
known as “brittle diabetes” because the fluctuations in
blood glucose levels result in unstable glycemic
control.
Recently, Fukuda etal. reported that the incidence of
diabetes was significantly higher in patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy than in those who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy despite no significant
difference in the volume of the resected pancreas
between the two groups[31]. They also revealed significant alterations in the gut microbiome and increased
secretion of glucagon- like peptide- 1 (GLP- 1) in patients
who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy, which possibly protected against the development of diabetes. This
study shed light on the pathogenic mechanism of pancreatic diabetes, but further validation studies are warranted in the future.
Evaluation andDiagnosis
ofPancreatic Diabetes
PEI
Patients with pancreatic diabetes, especially those with
chronic pancreatitis, frequently have accompanying PEI,
which results in some degree of fat malabsorption and
malnutrition[16]. Severe PEI can lead to overt steatorrhea and weight loss that may decrease the quality of life
of patients with pancreatic diabetes. Therefore, the evaluation of pancreatic exocrine function and appropriate
pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) are
mandatory for these patients. Although accurate evaluation of PEI is difficult, diagnostic tests including the fecal
elastase- 1 or N- benzoyl- - tyrosyl- p- aminobenzoic acid
test are recommended if available [16]. Evaluating the
patient’s symptoms, including abdominal bloating or discomfort, diarrhea, and weight loss, at each follow- up
visit and performing blood tests, including those for
hemoglobin, total protein, albumin, and total cholesterol
levels, are important for the evaluation of PEI.
Diagnosis ofPancreatic Diabetes
As in other type of diabetes, pancreatic diabetes is diagnosed on the basis of plasma glucose (PG) levels and
hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) analysis. A fasting PG level
≥126 mg/dL, 2- h PG level ≥200 mg/dL during a 75- g oral
glucose tolerance test (OGTT), random PG level
≥200 mg/dL, or HbA1c level ≥6.5% may indicate the
presence of diabetes [1]. In patients with symptoms
related to diabetes or those with significantly high PG
levels, the OGTT should be avoided because of the
increased risk of hyperglycemia. The evaluation of insulin secretory capacity, such as by using the insulinogenic
index (30min) calculated from a 75-
g OGTT test, fasting
C- peptide immunoreactivity (CPR), 24- h urinary CPR,
or ΔCPR after glucagon injection, is also important in
pancreatic diabetes, as it could help differentiate
“insulin- dependent” and “noninsulin- dependent” diabetes. Determining insulin dependence is essential for
choosing the appropriate medical treatment.
Pancreatic diabetes is more common than expected,
and patients with pancreatic diabetes are mostly misclassified as having type 2 diabetes owing to poor awareness
of this type of diabetes [4]. Moreover, no specific diagnostic criteria are available for pancreatic diabetes. Hart
etal. proposed conceptual diagnostic criteria for pancreatic diabetes, which included three components: fulfillment of the diagnostic criteria for diabetes, presence of a
pancreatic exocrine disease, and diabetes that is reasonably certain to be secondary to pancreatic exocrine disease [2]. Ewald and Hardt [4] also proposed diagnostic
criteria for pancreatic diabetes (type 3c diabetes mellitus) (Table56.1). The major criteria included the presence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, pathological
pancreatic imaging findings, and absence of autoimmune markers associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
However, distinguishing pancreatic diabetes from other
types of diabetes is sometimes difficult because patients
with long-
standing type 1 and type 2 diabetes frequently
have accompanying PEI. Therefore, clinicians should
always consider the possibility of diabetes when treating
pancreatic exocrine diseases, such as chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, as well as the possibility of pancreatic exocrine diseases when treating diabetes.

mellitus[4].

Treatment ofPancreatic Diabetes
Lifestyle Improvement andManagement
ofPEI
In patients with pancreatic diabetes, lifestyle correction
through weight control in overweight patients, abstinence from alcohol, and smoking cessation should be
considered as an initial treatment, as in patients with
other types of diabetes. When chronic pancreatitis is the
underlying cause of pancreatic diabetes, abstinence from
alcohol and smoking cessation are especially important
to prevent the progression of pancreatitis and achieve
better glycemic control. Regarding dietary therapy, stereotypic energy restriction to improve glycemic control
is not recommended as it exacerbates nutritional disorders due to PEI, which is frequently present in patients
with pancreatic diabetes. The presence of PEI is of great
importance, as this feature differentiates pancreatic
diabetes from other types of diabetes. Patients with PEI
diagnosed on the basis of symptoms, blood tests, and
pancreatic exocrine function tests require adequate
PERT and sufficient energy intake. The PG level is sometimes elevated after PERT; nevertheless, oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin therapies for patients with
pancreatic diabetes should be considered together with
appropriate PERT.
Insulin Therapy
Insulin therapy should be considered as the firsttreatment for patients with pancreatic diabetes and
advanced stages of pancreatic exocrine diseases, such as
chronic pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer, as well as for
those who have undergone pancreatectomy[14], because
these patients generally develop “insulin- dependent”
diabetes. Intensive insulin therapy with long- acting insulin as a basal requirement and preprandial short- or
ultra-
short- acting insulin for postprandial hyperglycemia are recommended for pancreatic diabetes because
these mimic physiological insulin secretion and are helpful in preventing hypoglycemia[7,9,32]. Insulin dependence in pancreatic diabetes is similar to that in type 1
diabetes mellitus, and both conditions meet the absolute
indication for insulin therapy. However, compared to
type 1 diabetes, pancreatic diabetes shows more impaired
secretion of counterregulatory hormones for hypoglycemia, including glucagon and pancreatic polypeptide.
Therefore, fluctuations in blood glucose levels are frequently observed after the injection of small doses of
insulin, and this makes it difficult to achieve good glycemic control in these patients. Niwano etal. recently compared the insulin requirement between patients
undergoing total pancreatectomy (pancreatic diabetes)
line
and those with type 1 diabetes[33]. They found that the
total daily insulin and basal insulin levels were significantly lower in patients undergoing total pancreatectomy than in those with type 1 diabetes. Even in the same
“insulin-
dependent” condition, we should pay attention
to hypoglycemia more carefully in patients with pancreatic diabetes than in those with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
When good glycemic control is difficult to achieve in
pancreatic diabetes, an insulin pump (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion) could be a treatment
option [33]. Moreover, adjusting the insulin dose after
the evaluation of pancreatic exocrine function and adequate PERT are very important.
Therapy withOther Hypoglycemic Agents
The degree of insulin deficiency and insulin resistance
varies with disease severity and duration[34]. Therefore,
as in patients with type 2 diabetes, those with pancreatic diabetes who have not undergone total pancreatectomy and are not “insulin- dependent” can be
administered oral hypoglycemic agents. Metformin,
which is widely used in patients with type 2 diabetes
and insulin resistance, is associated with a decreased
risk of various cancers, including pancreatic cancer[35]. Therefore, some studies preferred metformin
as the first- line treatment for pancreatic diabetes [2,16,34]; nevertheless, further validation of the
effect of metformin is required. Insulin secretory
agents, such as sulfonylureas and glinides, are also
treatment options in patients with preserved insulin
secretory capacity. However, the efficacy of incretinbased therapy using dipeptidyl peptidase- 4 inhibitors
and GLP- 1 analogs, which also enhance insulin secretion, for pancreatic diabetes has been controversial [9,14,36]. Moreover, the tendency has been to
refrain from these drugs owing to a possibility of
pancreatitis[34], but several recent reports have demonstrated no relationship between incretin-
based
therapy and pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer[37–39].
Nevertheless, GLP- 1 analogs have been associated with
a high frequency of gastrointestinal symptoms as side
effects [34]. Sodium- glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2)
inhibitors, which inhibit renal glucose reabsorption
and increase urinary glucose excretion [40], have
recently been widely used in patients with diabetes.
SGLT2inhibitors may be a treatment option because of
their insulin- independent action; however, their side
effects include weight loss, which should be considered
in patients with pancreatic diabetes. A recent study
showed no significantly increased risk of acute pancreatitis associated with the use of SGLT2inhibitors[41].
Although evidence regarding oral hypoglycemic agents
for pancreatic diabetes is scarce, clinicians should select
