Our review of clinical practice demonstrates that gastrointestinal ( GI ) symptoms were common in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes seen within our diabetes service. In those patients who are symptomatic, we observed that 42% had low faecal elastase 1 levels consistent with the diagnosis of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency ( PEI ). The presence of steatorrhoea and weight loss alone were insufficient to screen for PEI , and other GI symptoms (such as diarrhoea, abdominal cramps/pain and bloating) need to be additionally sought.
