Abstract

In the treatment of pancreatic diabetes is important to assess the need of insulin treatment, risk of hypoglycemia and microangiopatic complications Insulin treatment of pancreatic diabetes is not necessary in case of sufficient residual insulin secretion and good control of diabetes by oral hypglycemic agents. It is necessary to stop alcohol intake in patients with chornic alcoholic pancreatitis.

Early endoscopic or surgical treatment of stenosis or oclusions of pancreatic ductus is important. Further destruction of pancreatic tissue might be prevented by this way and its complication, for example a neef of insulin treatment, higher risk of hypoglycemia and progression of microangiopatic complications of diabetes delayed.
