Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted that your patient is suffering from chronic pancreatitis and is admitted in the hospital, is on insulin but still have loose stools.
I would advise the following in such a situation.
To get MRCP
Blood insulin levels and 6 hourly blood sugar charting and to alter the dosages as required.
To watch for any complications like pancreatic insufficiency .
To send the stool for routine and for undigested foods and components.
To add Pancreatic enzymes with food.
To avoid all the instigating or enhancing factors that increase pancreatitis.
