Abstract: Diabetes of the exocrine pancreas(DEP) refers to a complication of diseases of the exocrine pancreas, associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. Recent evidence has indicated that DEP, after type 2 diabetes, has become the second most common type of adults-onset diabetes, with a higher prevalence than type 1 diabetes. DEP is not a single condition but encompasses various exocrine pancreatic disorders that lead to hyperglycemia through different mechanisms, creating significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This review examines the latest research on the risk factors and pathogenesis of DEP, aiming to provide insights to improve its clinical management strategies.
