An erratum to this article was published (J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 18 Aug 2023 ↗)

Authors' conclusion

Fasting PP concentrations and the response to meal stimulation are reduced in new-onset DM associated with PDAC or CP compared with T2DM. These findings support further investigations into the use of PP concentrations to characterize pancreatogenic DM and to understand the pathophysiological role in exocrine pancreatic diseases

Study context

Population
Subjects with new-onset diabetes mellitus (DM) (<3 years' duration) in the setting of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), chronic pancreatitis (CP) or T2D

  • T2DMn = 99reference
Outcome
