Dx june 2014 hb1ac 63 metformin 3 x 500/October 2014 41 /then had three attacks of of panceatitis,between December and February..... gall bladder removed after second attack. Diagnoised with chronic pancreatitis two weeks ago (not alchoholrelated as I am a non drinker)
my last test was 37 and DNS wanted to withdraw metformin completely Over the 3 months test period I had been admitted l hospital 3 times with pancreatitis 3 days -4 days and then 3 days NIL BY MOUTH ! followed by very low fat low everything.....On more than 2 Occasions had to have 1V insulin <--.. My question is will these periods of not eating at all or very little have an effect on my hb1ac test figures. Also told only to test once a week before a meal and two hours after. Agreed to drop 2 x 500mg metformin but keep 1 x 500mg and see how it goes..told if I see a trend of it going up I could reintoduce the evening meal dose..
