Complications
Diabetes is a common complication due to the chronic pancreatic damage and may require treatment with insulin.

Some patients with chronic pancreatitis often look very sick, while others don't appear to be unhealthy at all. Considerable weight loss, due to malabsorption, is evident in a high percentage of patients, and can continue to be a health problem as the condition progresses.
