[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1520062, member: 32394"] Did you pick up on what any of your normal post prandial BGs were after eating in hospital? A hba1c of 48 is equivalent to average blood sugars of 7.8. A hba1c of 48 is diagnostic of type 2 diabetes. A hba1c of 43 is equivalent to average blood sugars of 7.1 and indicates pre-diabetes. There is type 3c diabetes, which is the term applied to diabetes caused by chronic pancreatitis, physical damage to the pancreas or pancreatectomy (partial or complete). If the 50% necrosis of your pancreas has caused a reduction or cessation in beta cell function then you can do all the walking, weight loss and low carbing you want, but you won't avoid the increase in blood sugar levels if you don't have pancreatic function. Have you been informed of the risk of developing diabetes following severe pancreatitis? Are you receiving follow up to check on you pancreatic function with cpeptide tests? You might want to have a look at the 3c section of the forum for info on 3c diabetes, you might want to ask your healthcare team for a cpeptide test to see if you are making insulin. [/QUOTE]
