[QUOTE="Leo63, post: 1477185, member: 407025"] Thank you so much for this reply. That does help to reassure me. It was the recent increase in BS levels that has started to concern me. It may just be that I am eating more. After the surgery, I lost about 20% of my body weight and I have always been slim - so I was down to 52kg (for a mature adult male, 5ft 10in tall this is very low). I am now able to eat fairly normally with the help of Creon with every meal and up to 63kg. I always thought that around 4.5 fasting was "normal" for a totally healthy person and was not too concerned with 5.5 considering I only have half a pancreas. Have done lots of googling and 6.5 is often referred to as "pre-diabetic", so my trend up to these levels is what has concerned me. Anyway, thank you again for the reply and the promise of some more info on the levels I should expect. [/QUOTE]
