Hello, I've noticed a couple of people with a history of necrotizing pancreatitis, and that's me, too. I had acute gallstone pancreatitis in Jan, my gallbladder out in Feb, and then necrotizing pancreatitis in March. I'm still in the final recovery from the nec panc, but I am monitoring my blood sugar frequently. Some of my panc was destroyed by the nec panc (the body and tail), but it's unclear how well the remaining will function. So far, my digestive function seems fine. My primary wants to put me on insulin, but I convinced her to give the panc another few weeks to see if it recovers and to see if I can control things with diet and exercise. Now that I know that type 3c exists, I think I should see an expert - only, I can't seem to find one. Does anyone know where the experts are for type 3c? Or should we call it pancreatogenic diabetes? I'm in the US, and I'd be willing to go anywhere in the US for at least a consult.
Thanks, it's nice to find a forum like this!
