T3cDM

INTRODUCTION: Diabetes (T3cDM) secondary to chronic pancreatitis (CP) arises due to endocrine dysfunction and metabolic dysregulations. Currently, diagnostic tests are not available to identify patients who may progress from normoglycemia to hyperglycemia in CP. We conducted plasma metabolomic profiling to diagnose glycemic alterations early in the course of disease. METHODS: Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was employed to generate untargeted, targeted plasma metabolomic profiles in CP patients, controls (n=445) following TRIPOD guidelines...

BACKGROUND: The role of dysglycaemia as a risk marker for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is uncertain. We investigated the relationship between glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and incident PDAC using a retrospective cohort study within the UK Biobank. METHODS: A study involving 499,804 participants from the UK Biobank study was undertaken. Participants were stratified by diabetes mellitus (DM) status, and then by HbA1c values < 42 mmol/mol, 42-47 mmol/mol, or ≥48 mmol/mol...

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an acute inflammation of the pancreas associated with high morbidity and mortality. Endocrine pancreatic insufficiency secondary to AP has drawn increasing attention in recent years. The aim of this paper is to analyze the available clinical and experimental literature to determine the cause and effect relationship of diabetes type 3c (T3cDM; pancreatogenic diabetes) after acute pancreatitis. The clinico-pathological features and management challenges of pancreatogenic diabetes overlap with other secondary causes of diabetes...

OBJECTIVE: A nontargeted metabolomics approach was established to characterize serum metabolic profile in type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM) secondary to chronic pancreatitis and compare with T2DM. METHODS: Forty patients were recruited for metabolite analysis based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Cluster heatmap and KEGG metabolic pathway enrichment analysis were used to analyze the specific and differential metabolites. The receiver operating characteristics (ROCs) were generated and correlation analysis with clinical data was conducted...

INTRODUCTION: Diabetes of the exocrine pancreas (DEP; a.k.a. pancreatic diabetes or pancreatogenic diabetes or type 3c diabetes mellitus or T3cDM) refers to different diabetes types resulting from disorders of the exocrine pancreas. DEP is characterized by the structural and functional loss of glucose-normalizing insulin secretion in the context of exocrine pancreatic dysfunction. Among these forms, new-onset diabetes mellitus secondary to total pancreatectomy (TP) has unique pathophysiological and clinical features, for which we propose a new nomenclature such as post-total pancreatectomy diabetes mellitus (PTPDM)...

AIM: The effectiveness of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in maintaining glycaemic control in type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus has been well demonstrated. However, the degree of glycaemic variability (GV) in people with type 3c diabetes mellitus has not been fully explored using CGM. This study aims to evaluate GV in type 3c diabetes mellitus participants and compare it to type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: Participants were grouped according to type of diabetes...

BACKGROUND: Screening for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in populations at high risk is recommended. Individuals with new-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (NOD) are the largest high-risk group for PDAC. To facilitate screening, we sought biomarkers capable of stratifying NOD subjects into those with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and those with the less prevalent PDAC-related diabetes (PDAC-DM), a form of type 3c DM commonly misdiagnosed as T2DM. METHODS: Using mass spectrometry- and immunoassay-based methodologies in a multi-stage analysis of independent sample sets (n=443 samples), blood levels of 264 proteins were considered using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis, literature review and targeted training and validation...

BACKGROUND: Type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM) usually occurs because of a variety of exocrine pancreatic diseases with varying mechanisms, which eventually lead to secondary pancreatic endocrine insufficiency i.e. hyperglycemia. PHENOMENOLOGY: A man suffering from previously undiagnosed T3cDM presenting with subacute onset hemifacial spasm. EDUCATIONAL VALUE: This case emphasizes the importance of rapid bedside measurement of capillary blood glucose in patients presenting with acute to subacute onset movements disorders irrespective of their past glycemic status...

BACKGROUND: Type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM) is diabetes secondary to other pancreatic diseases such as chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic resection, cystic fibrosis, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). Clinically, it may easily be confused with conventional type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A delay in pancreatic cancer diagnosis and treatment leads to a worse outcome. Therefore, early recognition of PDA-associated T3cDM and distinction from conventional T2DM represents an opportunity improve survival in patients with PDA...

Diabetes following acute pancreatitis (AP) is becoming increasingly recognized. It is unclear what subtype of diabetes mellitus (DM) occurs; however, type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM) is gaining increasing recognition. T3cDM has differing pathophysiology than other subtypes of DM and therefore differing disease course and treatment. Current studies have examined the incidence and prevalence of DM following AP, and meta-analyses have shown around 15% develop DM at 1 year with an increasing proportion developing DM at 5 years...

Pancreatogenic diabetes mellitus (T3cDM) is a highly frequent complication of pancreatic disease, especially chronic pancreatitis, and it is often misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A correct diagnosis allows the appropriate treatment of these patients, improving their quality of life, and various technologies have been employed over recent years to search for specific biomarkers of each disease. The main aim of this metabolomic project was to find differential metabolites between T3cDM and T2DM...

OBJECTIVES: Type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM) occurring post pancreatectomy can be challenging to treat due to the frequent combination of decreased circulating levels of insulin and glucagon and concurrent exocrine insufficiency. Relatively, little is known regarding the risk factors for development of T3cDM post pancreatectomy. Our aim was to review the literature and assess what is known of the risk factors for the development of new-onset DM following partial pancreatic resection and where possible determines the incidence, time of onset and the management approach to hyperglycaemia in this context...

BACKGROUND: The incidence of diabetes is increasing steeply; the number of diabetics has doubled over the past three decades. Surprisingly, the knowledge of type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM) is still unclear to the researchers, scientist and medical practitioners, leading towards erroneous diagnosis, which is sometimes misdiagnosed as type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), or more frequently type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This review is aimed to outline recent information on the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic procedures, and therapeutic management of T3cDM patients...

OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to compare the safety, efficacy, and patients' quality of life with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) versus multiple daily injections (MDIs) in type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM) following total pancreatectomy (TP) and pancreatic enzyme usage. METHODS: Thirty-nine patients with T3cDM (18 CSII patients vs 21 MDI patients) who underwent TP between 2000 and 2016 at 3 Harvard-affiliated hospitals and the University of Minnesota returned prospectively obtained questionnaires examining quality of life and both endocrine and exocrine pancreatic functions...

Type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM), also known as pancreatogenic diabetes, refers to diabetes caused by disease of the exocrine pancreas. T3cDM is not commonly recognised by clinicians and frequently it is misclassified as T1DM, or more commonly, T2DM. T3cDM can be difficult to distinguish from T1DM and T2DM, and it often co-exists with the latter. The aim of this review is to describe T3cDM, along with its complications, diagnosis and management. We focus on the nutritional implications of T3cDM for those with chronic pancreatitis, and provide a practical guide to the nutritional management of this condition...

AIM: To investigate impairment and clinical significance of exocrine and endocrine pancreatic function in patients after acute pancreatitis (AP). METHODS: Patients with AP were invited to participate in the study. Severity of AP was determined by the Atlanta classification and definitions revised in 2012. Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) was diagnosed by the concentration of fecal elastase-1. An additional work-up, including laboratory testing of serum nutritional markers for determination of malnutrition, was offered to all patients with low levels of fecal elastase-1 FE...

To characterize the clinical signature and etiopathogenetic factors of diabetes associated with pancreas disease [type 3 diabetes mellitus (T3cDM)]. To estimate incidence and identify predictors of both diabetes onset and remission after pancreatic surgery. A prospective observational study was conducted. From January 2008 to December 2012, patients (n = 651) with new diagnosis of pancreatic disease admitted to the Pancreatic Surgery Unit of the San Raffaele Scientific Institute were evaluated. Hospital and/or outpatient medical records were reviewed...

Type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM) is a clinically relevant condition with a prevalence of 5-10% among all diabetic subjects in Western populations. Its prevalence and clinical importance have been underestimated and underappreciated so far. In contrast to the management of type 1 or type 2 diabetes, the endocrinopathy in T3cDM is very complex and complicated by additional present comorbidities such as maldigestion and concommitant qualitative malnutrition. The failure to correctly diagnose T3cDM leads to failure to implement an appropriate medical therapy of these patients...

Epidemiological studies clearly indicate that the risk of pancreatic cancer (PC) is increased in diabetic patients, but most studies focus on overall diabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and there are few studies on the risks of type 1 and type 3c (secondary) diabetes. Possible mechanisms for increased cancer risk in diabetes include cellular proliferative effects of hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and abnormalities in insulin/IGF receptor pathways. Recently, insulin and insulin secretagogues have been observed to increase the PC risk, while metformin treatment reduces the cancer risk in diabetic subjects...

INTRODUCTION: The effects of pancreatic polypeptide (PP) infusion were examined in patients on insulin pump therapy to determine whether PP administration can reduce insulin requirements in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM; pancreatogenic). METHODS: Ten subjects with long-standing T1DM (n = 7) or T3cDM (n = 3) on insulin pump treatment received a 72 h subcutaneous infusion of 2 pmol/kg/min bovine PP or saline by portable infusion pump in a single-blinded, randomized, crossover design...
