ABSTRACT
Fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes (FCPD) is a form of diabetes seen in tropical countries. It is secondary to chronic, calcific, non-alcoholic pancreatitis. FCPD is usually a disease of youth.

These two patients had evidence of macrovascular diseases probably due to the older age group of the patients.
