Generally it’s 3-3.5, although had a really nasty one last week at 2.7, felt awful. Should say that it does go high in the couple of hours after I eat, but as I don’t feel any symptoms with that, at the moment it’s less of a concern. It does make me wonder how accurate the hba1c is though. It...

Hi. I have had chronic pancreatitis with endocrine and exocrine insufficiency for a long time. I have been fortunate up until now with my blood sugar, but I am now having problems with problems with low blood sugar. My hba1c is prediabetic at 46. I am fine if I don’t eat, which I don’t when I...

I have had chronic pancreatitis for, well as long as I can remember, but was diagnosed age 21, with calcification. I was prescribed Creon about 5 years after that, but I am just now teetering on the edge of diabetes. To check if you need creon/ what dosage is required I think you need a fecal...

Actually, I have read your posts with interest, because for many years I have been aware that anything particularly high in sugar that I ate came with the pay off that a few hours later I would feel shaky, hungry etc all the typical low bg symptoms. It’s only fairly recently that I seem to also...

Thank you . It’s just exhausting but it also feels like no one gets it, so so glad there are people here who understand x

And this evening, my bs has gone from 17.5 to 3.7 in an hour!

Although they did refer me onto the avoiding diabetes course. Which is run by a sports graduate, who has no clue about anything medical and just reads out the accompanying book! It’s quite worry really. They weigh us every session! I like to go up and get weighed to see how much I have lost that...

That was what I thought. And although I can’t feel the highs, I am assuming they still do damage. As I only have 1 kidney that works I am keen to avoid that. However my GP seems very laid back about the whole deal but that low on Monday scared the s*** out of me!

I wonder if anyone can help. I have had chronic pancreatitis for 30 painful years. I take creon with food, and have been diagnosed as having endocrine and exocrine insufficiency. Earlier this year my hba1c was 42. HOWEVER… my bs readings are regularly over 10. But that isn’t what actually causes...

Hi. I have chronic pancreatitis and I’ve been taking creon a while now. I don’t think your weight really matters to be honest, it’s more about symptoms. Were you getting malabsorption symptoms before you took creon? And by that I suppose I mean the horrible toilet ones…. I weigh around 50kg and...

I was wondering if anyone could help. I have had chronic pancreatitis for over 30 years. I take Creon with meals. I have been “prediabetic” for at least 10 years. I have always struggled somewhat with low blood sugar, usually a few hours after eating something particularly sugary, but recently...
