The Journey of a Patient with Fibrocalculous Pancreatic Diabetes from Injectable Insulins to Hybrid Closed-Loop Insulin Pump: A Case Report

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes (FCPD) is a rare form of secondary diabetes in which there is insulin deficiency. The mainstay of treatment for FCPD is insulin. When insulin is delivered through basal bolus regime, there is a risk of hypo and hyperglycemic episodes if the dose is not adjusted properly. In this case, we report the journey of a patient with FCPD who was earlier on basal bolus insulin regime and later switched to the automated hybrid closed-loop 780G insulin pump, which significantly improved her quality of life.
