Scientists have officially recognized a new form of diabetes: Type 3c Diabetes Mellitus (T3cDM). Unlike Type 1 (autoimmune) or Type 2 (insulin resistance), this form develops from direct damage to the pancreas, often due to chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, surgery, or genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis. Because it disrupts both blood sugar regulation and digestion, T3c patients often need dual treatment: insulin therapy and enzyme replacement therapy. Misdiagnosis has been common, with many patients incorrectly treated as Type 2 diabetics, highlighting the urgent need for awareness among healthcare providers.
The recognition of T3c ensures more accurate diagnosis, personalized care, and better outcomes. At the same time, researchers are also exploring the controversial concept of “Type 3 diabetes” in the brain—possibly linked to Alzheimer’s—though it has yet to be classified as an official medical condition.
