Sound like you are managing your diabetes very well. I’m T3c so meds just do not work for me and given I am quite thin anyway cutting carbs and fasting has a negative effect. Keep up the good work.

I hope you find a solution Carol as I think I am heading for Insulin and worry about these same issues.

Can I suggest having a look at the info from Ivor Cummins aka The Fat Emperor (no relation) more recently he’s been focusing on Covid but his primary work has been on cardiovascular.

It’s a worry that no specialist T3 team exists given so many are suffering. I’ve been T3c for about 12 years after acute pancreatitis. It was caused by a cyst although the medics insisted it was alcohol caused. I probably drank more than was good for me but not really to excess. I am also...

I was advised that the Gliclazide probably doesn’t make much difference but to take it anyway. Still non the wiser. This reply is quite a bit on from the original, I am due to have a check up next month, I am taking some research on T3cDM as the nurse seems not to be aware of T3 or the treatment...

I had my gall bladder removed about 20 years ago after the usual symptoms suffered for years. I had. no issues or further problems for about 8 years, but then started to suffer from the same abdominal pain after eating almost anything except fruit. This went on for a couple of years and my GP...

I am T3c, my meds have little or no effect, unless I fast I am unable to get my BS down. I start the day between 8/10 BS and stay at that level until mid afternoon, as long as I don’t eat anything I can bring the readings down to about 7. I don’t want to end up on insulin it’s to complex for me...

I had my gall bladder removed many years ago and in 2010 started to get the same symptoms as before and ended up in hospital with acute pancreatitis. The medics blamed alcohol and although I don’t drink that much they were adamant that was the cause. Since 2010 I’ve been fine no return of any...

I think I am type 3c, I was being treated for T2 and questioned the diagnosis after reading an article on the One Drop Forum about those suffering from pancreatitis. I have a history of gastric problems and was diagnosed with pancreatitis 2010. I’ve had no problems since then other than higher...

Has anyone tried the above tea? It’s a blend of spiced apple & vanilla with camomile and passionflower. My wife suggest I try it to relax, if I drink it going to bed I wake up with a normal blood glucose reading. If I don’t have it my readings are at least 2 points higher. I Am I imagining this...

I recently asked for a review and have been referred to the Community Diabetes Team. They have conceded that I am probably T3 and agreed to review my meds as the research indicates that Gliclizide may not work well for T3’s. I’ve been off it for just under a month and my readings are a bit up in...

Similarly I have been suggesting reducing my meds for about a year as research indicates T3c Diabetes is not affected by gliclizide. Any way last week I suggested once more to stop it and see what happens. Since stopping it my glucose readings have been lower. Of course I am being more careful...

I have tried the same low carb approach and also lost quite a bit of weight, got the same concerns from the family about too much weight loss. I’ve put a bit back on but remain fairly stable. I’ve relaxed my diet now but remain fairly careful especially during the day. My cholesterol was...

Before I had my attack I had been diagnosed with an ulcer and had been taking anything I could find to give me some relief. One of the meds was Zantac. I've been ok since then but over the last few years my glucose levels went haywire and I'm am on a variety of meds but find the best control is...

My diabetes nurse keeps suggesting I start on insulin and I keep saying no way. I think you are right about the low carb approach as it also works for me. Your lows are obviously caused by the meds. I don't want to get trapped by insulin, gaining weight, dieting, low glucose and then more...

I had my gall bladder removed about 20 yrs ago and had a return of symptoms in 2009 and acute pancreatitis in Jan 2010. A cyst caused the problems. I was hospitalised for 3 weeks and starved and all symptoms subsided. So far they have not returned and I can eat anything without pain. I was...

I had my gall bladder removed about 20 years ago. I started to have similar symptoms as before around 2005 onwards and was diagnosed with an ulcer. This turned out to be acute pancreatitis which reached the point of no return in January 2010 and I was admitted to hospital as an emergency. I was...
