Bijaya Mohanty, Prasad SK and Narain Pandey

Fibrocalculus pancreatic diabetes (FCPD) is a rare form of diabetes. FCPD is one of the two forms of malnutrition related diabetes mellitus (MRDM), the other one being protein deficient diabetes mellitus (PDDM). Fibrocalculus pancreatic diabetes was introduced for this form of diabetes by the World Health Organization study group report on diabetes. Several case reports of FCPD have been described in literature from tropical, poverty striken African and Asian countries for over 50 years. In India most cases are reported from Southern and Eastern India specifically from Kerala, Chennai and Odisha. From Jharkhand it is not reported.
