CASE REORT ON TYPE 3C DIABETES MELLITUS

Abstract

Type 3c diabetes mellitus is also called as pancreatogenic or pancretogenus diabetes mellitus.It is mainly caused due to chronic pancreatitis and cystic fibrosis.Chronic pancreatitis is a disease characterized by pancreatic inflammatory and fibrotic injury resulting in irreversible parenchymal damage which leads to destruction of alpha,beta and delta cells in the pancreas. This destruction leads to an unpredictable level of glucose in the blood. Treatment for type 3c diabetes differs from type 1 and type2 diabetes but Type 3c diabetes is often misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes. It is difficult to diagnose and classify patient with type 3c diabetes mellitus because long standing type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus are associated with exocrine pancreatic failure and acute or chronic pancreatitis.There are no separate guidelines for type 3c diabetes mellitus. Patient with type 3c diabetes required pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy that aid in digestion and insulin to optimize glycemic control and they experience episodes of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, so their blood glucose levels should be closely monitored
