[QUOTE="janeliz, post: 1029563, member: 49054"] Think I meant to write pancreatic disease. There are many people with pancreatic insufficiency due to non functioning pancreas or degrees of removal of pancreas that do not have diabetes. I have a small bit of the head left as the rest disintegrated in one episode of pancreatitis. I was in and out of hospital I have no pancreatic function. My diabetes team do not treat my pancreas insufficiency, only my blood sugars. The problems of the poor/non foods digestion is treated by my hepato/pancreas surgical team. I too inject after meals as I cannot always manage to eat all the meal, so compensate with changing the insulin dose for this. Likewise I adjust insulin with correction doses as you say you do Shar67. Not sure where your treatment is different to a type 1 or 2? Type 1 treatment is the same as Type 3c from what I was told by my diabetes team last December. I count carbs in my meals, yes it's only rough and no two days work the same and hypos occur whenever and there seems to be no logic to it all. From what I understood Type3c is a sub classification of diabetes with treatment akin to type 1. I was told to treat as type 1 for diabetes - basal/ bolus and correction doses, after food and treat hypos accordingly. I also take vitamins, creon and avoid lots of foods, treat pain and sickness as necessary for the little/non functioning piece of pancreas I have left. In type 1 the beta cells are damaged the same as in type 3c but without the other functions of the pancreas being altered. [/QUOTE]
