Detailed explanation-1: -Pancreas removal causes diabetes, and can change the body’s ability to digest food. This requires lifelong diabetes treatment, including eating a low-sugar, low-carbohydrate diabetes diet. The doctor may recommend eating several smaller meals each day to avoid blood sugar spikes.
