The pancreas has two main roles. First it is involved in sugar metabolism. If it is malfunctioning you get hyperglycemic and thus will require insulin. The other function is one of producing digestive enzymes. You can take oral pills to supplement these enzymes. Discuss with your doctor what is right for you.
