The results showed diabetes. He doesn't know what to do. So, will diabetes cause pancreatitis and edema?"
Doctor's answer:
Diabetes usually does not cause acute pancreatitis. Diabetes is caused by abnormal decomposition metabolism of body sugar, protein, and fat due to insufficient or excessive insulin secretion. There are endocrine metabolic diseases. Acute pancreatitis is an acute chemical inflammation caused by the self-absorption of pancreatic tissue, resulting from the activation of pancreatic enzymes. There are digestive system diseases. In recent years, with the improvement of living conditions, people's diet has also become relatively rich. Therefore, the incidence rates of both conditions are relatively high.
