As Type Secondary Pancreatic Pathology (insulin injections twice a day), I can be 5.4 pre-breakfast which rises to around 12.?? and then 3 hours later after work can fall to about 2.5-3.9 area, when it's jelly baby time until I get back to a reasonable 5.6 area about 2 hours later. I can...

Hey, thanks for this encouraging message, and good wishes sent. It's true enough that categorisation can be very important, where necessary, when relevant information is necessary to pass on to those who need to know. But the desired outcome is always for the individual person to...

I'm even more confused now, as I was originally diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis and registered as Type 2 in 2014. I require twice daily insulin injections, and then having made further enquiries to confirm if I was actually T1 or T2, eventually my records now show me as "Secondary...

Burgen best on the market - sad my local co-op has changed hands and no longer supplies this, but I've found one other store that does but bit further to walk to (11ish grams suits fine)

I'm not a sweet-tooth, but aghast responses perhaps, I practically couldn't do without my Carmel drops from Boots (classed as diabetic) and also their dark chocolate bars (one square on odd night). I also enjoy a dark choc digestive pre-bedtime which doesn't spike me too much the next morning...

Hi, have you read the small Collins gem book "Carb Counter"? It tells you about various diets (Atkins included)? I do use certain bars as a logical practicality in my own small world, but not whole bars at a time. I slice my (Decadence bars; Choc Brownies; Orange, or Hazelnut - all dark choc)...

This is a good information boost for those concerned about inter-link with diabetes and psoriasis - I'd say definitely not related (although not an expert), but reading the comments and my own example, I developed psoriasis long before (about 8 years) I was diagnosed as Secondary Pancreatic...

I totally agree with your post, relating to myself personally, though as is commonly understandable everyone is different. I do the nuts, seeds etc as well as home-made baking, pastries (limited in high carb/or substitute ingredients), and don't now suffer the hunger pangs or unpleasant stuff...

Hi, I usually surface around 3.30/4.00 am, to start work at 6.30ish (20 min walk to work), and due to my work regime of physical cleaning I must admit to the horror of most that I have a bowl of Bran flakes, quarter chopped banana, almond milk and cinnamon sprinkled on top and x2 slices of...

Thanks very much for your reply and best wishes

Thank you so much, and yes please. Sorry for delay in responding - your interest and help very much appreciated

Sorry for hogging this, but PLEEEEEZZZEE can anyone tell me if being on HumulinM3 (after 3 years) is a good or "inconvenient" thing? Is it habit that keeps me with familiarity of insulin dosage , or if you were me, would you be looking at changing for a more versatile and normal lifestyle?

Glad to give some info for you to pursue - hope you get satisfactory answers

Whilst I was originally diagnosed as T2, I was prescribed insulin Humulin M3 injections twice daily. I am now officially recorded as being "Secondary Pancreatic Pathology". My Chronic Pancreatitis initially gave up and succumbed to not working enough to provide the insulin I needed. Still...

I'm sorry that I can't offer to send you tester strips, but due to Doctor error in signing a repeat prescription, I most certainly can offer you Glucomen Lx Ketone test strips (if they suit your meter). I have more than I need and living in Scotland I don't have to pay the same extortionate...

God, you are the biggest inspiration to us all. Love your attitude and positive message which I'm sure makes so many of us see things major differently in each stage of initial diagnosis to present status. Thank you for putting your life into words and may you enjoy many more years with your...

I also drink lots black coffee, liquorice and oriental herb tea, green tea- slight dropping glucose effects after about an hour if I don't eat, otherwise, no change.

When I read this I thought I had written it without remembering! I'm in so much the same boat, but unfortunately I don't have the answer either. I tend to eat fairly high carb post-injection (although I only use the twice-daily long-lasting insulin Humulin M3) and put the rapid drop in glucose...

You are not alone my friend - 2 years later for me, and I try to make light of my "incidents" but even jovial doesn't work with those nearest and dearest to me - they just turn deaf or ignore. Thank goodness for the Forum where you at least get a response to your inner, perhaps scary, but well...

Hey, I'm exactly with you on this. I've had 50 years of "freedom", and now have to consider anything I'm offered to eat and mostly say no to, where in the past would have wolfed a macaroon bar in seconds with nibbles and probably not so healthy eating at meal-times. Do you ever question what...
