First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether taking pancreatic enzyme supplements (Creon) can improve blood sugar control and digestive function in people with chronic pancreatitis who have trouble digesting food. Researchers will monitor 80 participants over time to see how their glucose levels and hormone responses change. The goal is to better understand the link between digestive and blood sugar problems in this condition.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that pancreatic enzyme supplements help stabilize blood sugar and improve digestion in people with chronic pancreatitis.
