A member asked:
My son had undergone an operation 4 yrs back due to pancreatitis. he is becoming thinner. how can he get better?

Needs evaluation!: I definitely want him to have an evaluation for this weight loss. Pancreatitis can affect your insulin secretion and this could be a sign of diabetes. If you cannot get an appointment within the next week. Check his blood sugar at home to be sure it is not over 100. Why does he have pancreatitis? is there a family history of alcoholism, cancer or diabetes? Does he have abdominal pain?
