Message: <blockquote data-quote="RohanP01" data-source="post: 1025096" data-attributes="member: 192575">Hello. I'm diabetic after getting gallstones which got stuck in the bile duct, gave me pancreatitis, and my pancreas basically digested itself. They reckon I have up to 10% of it left, and it works sometimes! Technically my diabetes is secondary..... as in secondary to the pancreatitis.  Sounds like it's the same as you're being told is 3c... but I've not had it called that. I'm down as T1 on hospital notes as I cannot manage without injected insulin.  So yes, you are a diabetic. You probably function as fully insulin dependent, so you are nearest in requirements to a T1. If you have access to a specialist nurse or diabetes educator, they may give you a clearer answer than a general doc.Good luck.</blockquote>
