title: [Diabetes mellitus in patients with chronic alcoholic pancreatitis].
abstract: The examination of 170 patients with chronic alcohol pancreatitis revealed diabetes mellitus (DM) in 21% of them. It manifested with polydipsia, polyuria and weight loss along with pancreatitis symptoms. DM complications were rare. Exercise tests were indicative of reduced insulin and glycagon reserves in the majority of the examinees. This condition depended on pancreatitis severity. DM in pancreatitis presents a high risk of hypoglycemia which should be taken into consideration when designing schemes of relevant treatment.
