Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder which is associated with hyperglycaemia. It is caused by a derangement in the secretion or function of the endocrinal portion of the pancreas. There is a close anatomical and functional relationship between its exocrine and endocrine portions. To address this issue, the current study was designed to evaluate the blood glucose and the amylase levels of diabetic patients as representatives of the two portions of the pancreas respectively.
