Mine was in reverse. Gallstones caused damage to my pancreas when they blocked the bile duct.

I am absolutely terrified to be taking it tonight. I have very little fat left on my body, and in the hospital I had a fair bit of belly fat and wondered if that is affecting things at the injection site? I spoke with the NHS diabetic team and they made an appointment to see me on Tuesday...

It is. Thank you. I think it was professional pride because in a way, I am stating I am not happy with the advice I have been given via the surgery's diabetic services, which are woeful to be honest.

I went to my GP yesterday evening who administered a ketone test and that came back as below 0.6 which was good. I asked him while I was there if he would put in a referral for me to see a specialist on diabetes and he was reticent to do that. I can get an appointment for the 16th June but it...

None at all. It's all been about where blood sugar levels are, so for exxample if I want to eat and my blood sugar is at 7 then no more than 1 unit of fast-acting insulin. If I am at 11 then no moe than 2 units.

This is what I want. Newly diagnosed but struggling with blood sugar, every day. I have to have my gallbladder removed in August and until then I can't eat anything with fat in it (excruciating pain even just using a few squirts of the air fryer 1 kcal spray) but hoping afterwards, I start to...

Hi Nicola. I am new to all of this. Diagnosed in March this year. I will look into those. Thank you.

I haven't. I will ask the next time I see my consultant at the hospital. I was notified however that there was no sign of tumours/masses on my pancreas and the blood tests that could signal that, have all come back as normal. Quite edited by moderator to conform with forum rules

Yes, I am going to do so now. Thank you.

Yes, acute pancreatitis caused by gallstones. I am having another CT scan tomorrow, with a view to removing my gallbladder in August. The acute pancreatitis is what led to the diagnosis of Type 3c Diabetes. I felt that way yesterday when the diabetic nurse at my doctor's surgery, dismissed...

What I have noticed is that having an org**m always affects my levels for days after. The problem is, the process is automatic and there is nothing I can do about it. Nocturnal stuff. Yes, messes with my blood sugars no end and I'm not sure why. Thank you.

I did not know about this and what you have written has added an extra layer of worry to what is currently happening to me. I have been told that from my CT scans, there is nothing to suggest tumours in my pancreas and my bloods are all good. The thought then, that this could lead to PC, is...

15.0 I took 2 novorapid units over an hour ago and I was at 15.1 then, so they haven't dropped me at all. Blood sugar high all day.

Hi there, I have the fruity breath associated with ketones however I don't have any of the other symptoms. I looked into getting a ketone meter however they only come with 10 strips and extra strips are costly and financially, I am unable to pay for these. What are my options, please? My...

I was diagnosed in March this year. I felt fine the night before I was admitted (16th March 2026). I simply couldn't breathe. The paramedics were called. I was taken to A&E. There the pain started. Taken to a surgical ward and then straight to ICU for 5 days. Back to the surgical ward, for 26...
