Juvenile-onset pancreatic diabetes to whom a healthy infant was born.
A rare case of pregnancy and successful transvaginal delivery in secondary diabetes due to chronic pancreatitis is reported. At the age of 16 the patient was diagnosed as having chronic pancreatitis probably caused by hyperlipemia. Three years later diabetes and calcification of the pancreas was found. Blood glucose was well controlled using both self-monitoring of blood glucose and multiple subcutaneous insulin injection just before she became pregnant at age 23. The dose of insulin was slightly increased and no acute exacerbation of pancreatitis occurred during pregnancy, partly due to an appropriate low fat diet with digestive enzyme preparations.
