Can pancreatitis be caused by too much sugar?
Your pancreas processes most of the fat you eat. So, the more you eat, the harder your pancreas works. High-fat foods and simple sugars also increase your triglyceride levels. This boosts the amount of fat in your blood and increases your risk for acute pancreatitis.
What is the effect of sugar on the pancreas?
As blood sugar levels rise, the pancreas produces insulin, a hormone that prompts cells to absorb blood sugar for energy or storage.
What happens to your pancreas when your blood sugar is too high?
Without insulin, the cells cannot get enough energy from food. This form of diabetes results from the body's immune system attacking the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. The beta cells become damaged and, over time, the pancreas stops producing enough insulin to meet the body's needs.
