I am a member of the 3c club( didn't know there was a stand alone category until this evening) however, I shall be posting in here now [emoji3] I've been type 3c since March and still being pulled in every direction possible via diab nurses, consultant, G.P, dietician funding and now to add to...

Thank you, I'm now 5 months in and STILL haven't been given Creon. I'm extreemly symptomatic and its gotten down right embarrassing. It's effecting intimacy between me and hb and I'm mortified. Any advice you can offer until I get to see this bloody gastro team would be appreciated. Thanks

I've just purchased the book following an appt with diabetes team 2 weeks ago. I've always counted baked beans in my carb to insulin ratio, however the dietician told me not to. T h e book arrives and low and behold it counts the carbs so I'm confused.com right about now

Never be afraid to ask the ques. I see so many mistakes made wich then impacts on patient care and well-being. Too many people think that the Dr is right and therefore take whatever they tell them too without a thought. Always question their judgment and reasoning for what they are recommending...

Also the 'skinny' range of low carbohydrate and no carb foods are good , you may be able to swap some of your safe foods for something in their range ? Haha x

Sorry to be the hater on jardiance but I was prescribed it and it caused severe pancreatitis and now the damage done means my pancreas has packed up completely, please beware of pancreatic symptoms and contact your Dr if you do experience any x

Just wanted to throw this into the convo following my own experiences recently Do you have any of the symptoms corresponding to type 3c? Because thar caused a lot of confusion for me.

Can I ask what a Rose is please ? Also slightly differently, I was on metformin for 24 years and suddenly had a crisis in march and now too feel my body isn't working. My pancreas has shut down and I'm on 5 injections a say. So I suppose all I wanted to say was our bodies evolve and change...

I'd prob stay away from diabetic choc because of its laxative effect, small amounts of choc are OK (with a mea)l and if on insulin taken into consideration when dosing.
