Hi everyone. I've been having some abdominal pains and my gastro ordered a faecal elastase test; the result came back at 70 which indicates severe pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). From looking online, apparently approx. 20-60% of T1Ds get this condition. The treatment is enzyme tablets that you have to take with meals.
I'm really worried about what this means for me and my type 1. I have had really good control and low HBA1Cs since being diagnosed 9 years ago so disappointed that this has happened.
Has anyone else been diagnosed with this and/or can share any experiences?
