Abstract:
Studies in adults suggest that some patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus have pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI). The primary aim of this study was to explore the association between pancreatic exocrine function and type 1 diabetes in young people under 17 years. The secondary aim was to evaluate the relationship between PEI in patients with diabetes, their clinical symptoms and blood glucose control. The importance of providing a highly trained multidisciplinary support network are also discussed.
