Diabetes mellitus secondary to pancreatic diseases is classified as type 3C and it can appear after a single episode of acute pancreatitis. We report a 25 years old female with a family history of diabetes. She was admitted to the hospital due to an acute pancreatitis of biliary origin. She received parenteral nutrition and required up to 82 units of insulin per day to maintain blood glucose levels. A CT scan showed a pseudocyst. A percutaneous drainage, followed by necrotic tissue debridement were performed. She was discharged two months after admission requiring insulin to maintain metabolic control.
