Pancreatic diabetes, also called Type 3c diabetes, occurs when the pancreas is damaged by conditions such as Pancreatitis, Pancreatic Cancer, alcohol, surgery, or cystic fibrosis.

The damage affects the pancreas’ ability to produce insulin and other digestive enzymes.
As a result, people may experience:
High blood glucose levels
Difficulty digesting food
Weight loss or malnutrition.

Type 3c diabetes is often misdiagnosed as Type 2 Diabetes, but its cause and management can be different.

Key point: When the pancreas is damaged, both blood sugar control and digestion can be affected.

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus occurs when pregnancy hormones make the body resistant to insulin, leading to high blood sugar during pregnancy.

It is usually diagnosed between 24–28 weeks and managed with healthy eating, glucose monitoring, physical activity, and sometimes medication to protect both mother and baby. 🤰🩺

After delivery, blood sugar often returns to normal, but the mother has a higher risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes later in life.

Steroids are powerful medications used to treat many conditions.

However, they can also raise blood sugar levels and sometimes lead to steroid-induced diabetes.
This happens because steroids increase glucose production in the liver and make the body less responsive to insulin.

The result is often higher blood sugar levels, especially later in the day.
People who already have risk factors for Type 2 diabetes may be more likely to develop this condition while on steroid therapy.

The good news: in many cases, blood glucose levels improve once the steroid dose is reduced or stopped. Monitoring, lifestyle adjustments, and sometimes medication can help keep levels under control.

Understanding the impact of steroids on blood sugar is key to preventing complications and managing diabetes effectively.
