Does blood sugar rise in patients with pancreatitis?

The blood glucose of patients with pancreatitis can be elevated because blood glucose regulation relies on insulin in the body, and if there are abnormalities in insulin secretion, such as reduced insulin secretion or insulin resistance, it may cause the patient’s blood glucose to rise. In the case of inflammation of the pancreas, the main problem is that the pancreas itself is diseased, such as aseptic necrosis, exudation around the pancreas, or even when the patient has severe inflammation of the pancreas, it can lead to infection of the pancreas, so the islet cells inside the pancreas will be damaged to some extent. If the patient’s pancreatitis is more severe, it may cause the patient’s blood sugar to rise. In addition, elevated blood glucose can also indicate that the patient’s pancreatic inflammation is progressing in the direction of severe, and timely intervention should be made to prevent the patient from developing severe pancreatitis.
