Diabetes mellitus secondary to pancreatic diseases is classified as pancreatogenic diabetes or type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM), which is clinically and metabolically different from the other types of diabetes. We present the case of a 35-year-old female patient with a history of chronic episodic upper abdominal pain, alcohol consumption since she was 17, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. She sought medical attention because of a complicated urinary tract infection in addition to acute upper abdominal pain. During hospitalization, she presented episodes of hyperglycemia followed by hypoglycemia with insulin therapy administered under supervision. This case encourages us to delve into the study of diabetic patients with a history of poorly referred abdominal pain or malabsorption signs, thus improving health intervention to prevent or treat malnutrition, control steatorrhea, and reduce hyperglycemia induced by meals or lifestyles.
