[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 317109, member: 21149"] Hi Ally I have similar sugar levels, but not quite so high, and diabetes meds as you do, but without the pain. I did have dull aches in the abdomen before diagnosis and now wonder whether it was mild pancreatitis that knocked out some cells. I am surprised that no recent GP has followed-up on your possible pancreatitis. In the end it may be worth turning up at A&E when you get back on land and see if you can get them to act. We have a local 'Darzi' walk-in GP clinic which is excellent and an escape route from our very average local surgery. Do you have one you could go? Your diet does seem a bit high in carbs. I would avoid the toast at breakfast and substitute porridge, home-made no-sugar added muesli, egg & bacon etc. Bread is a real carb problem; go for multi-grain or low-GI if you do have it. Most branded cereals have a lot of added sugar and carbs, so do read the packet. I try to keep carbs below 150 gm per day. Some on the forum go for much less [/QUOTE]
