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.
