Hi.
Thanks for your query for your brother.

To recapitulate:
He was operated to remove the calculi and got chronic Pancreatitis and Insulin dependent Diabetes. - Now he has unbearable pain and associated symptoms .

This is one of the best indications to have total Pancreatectomy.
This will relieve him of the pain totally.
He will be fine .
Anyway he is on Insulin and so need to worry about. Sugar has to be monitored.
He can then have a diet at least.
Intravenous fluids and everything else will be stopped.
He will need a lifelong supplements of pancreatic enzymes too.
I find this answer helpful
