Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency means that the pancreas fails to make enough of the enzymes that are needed to break down food during digestion. The result is that nutrients cannot be absorbed properly. Endocrine pancreatic insufficiency means that the pancreas doesn't produce enough of the hormone insulin, which helps cells to use sugar as energy source.
