Doctors who think they know more than they do and are too arrogant to refer you on when they reach the limits of their ability.

Hi folks,
Looking for information on Type 3c Diabetes aka Pancreatitis diabetes. This is a little known form of brittle Diabetes characterised by rapid and large Hi/Lo & Lo/Hi swings in BGLs.
Chronic pancreatitis, apart from one of the most painful things that can ever, ever happen to you, basically kills off the pancreas over a period leading to no insulin production at all. Fine and dandy and on the face of it treatable in the same way as Type 1
Now for the awkward part. As the pancreas self-digests and dies off, it kills off not just the Beta cells that produce insulin, but also the alpha cells that produce Glucagon, the enzyme that instructs the Liver to convert Glucogen into Glucose when blood sugars are low.
So with the insulin/blood sugar uptake, and the Glucagon/'Liver glucose top up' mechanisms stuffed there are bound to be additional problems in control.
I just can't seem to find any reliable info on the web.
Anyone out there with this problem or knowledge of it please ??
be good and be lucky
Dave
