I have type 3c diabetes after having Whipple Surgery. I was diagnosed by Dr as type 2, but on reading on line I seemed to fit the 3C category. I too printed off what I had found but my GP had never heard of it. When I contacted the hospital who had performed the surgery this was confirmed. I...

Sorry I missed seeing your reply. I had a small IPMN tumour (non malignant) but growing slowly. When it reached 3cm after 5 years of monitoring with 6 monthly MRI scans they decided it had the potential to turn cancerous, so removed it by Whipple. It was non malignant. It is almost 2 years since...

No I'm looking for my own past questions and want to read again the replies if possible

I would like to go back and read past posts with comments. Is there a way to find them?

Yes I take 3 x 2500 creon with meals

Diagnosed diabetic but Dr never heard of type 3c. I have had a third of pancreas removed by Whipple so not sure I'm receiving correct treatment. I have lost just over a stone in weight (drastically reduced carbs). My weight now 7st 11lb and body mass 20.5. Advise required please on type 3c...

I have been following low carb diet but losing a lot of weight in the process. I've been having cooked breakfasts or yogurt and a few nuts and berries and the blood reading has been around 7.8. Longing to have a breakfast cereal again, I tried a very small bowl of Special K with berries. I...

I find the forum really useful, but is there an easy way to find my old posts and not sure how long I keep on the newly diagnosed.

I have had 1/3 of pancreas removed by Whipple operation, what makes you think I could be type 1. Sorry all new to me.

Don't always have the time to start cooking. I thought cream would be a definite no no? I have tested the bran flakes 3 times now along with muesli and realise they're not for me. I haven't had tester long so not 100% sure of best time to test. I tested 1 hour after the bran flakes but not sure...

Will look out for that brand of yogurt thanks.

Thank you for your reply much appreciated. My BMI is 20.2 now, I rechecked after your reply. My weight has dropped a stone in one month since watching the carb intake. I do keep those individual blocks of cheese and Cheddar thins in my bag for snacks while out and to have with a coffee instead...

Hello thank you for your reply. I am 5' 2" and have BMI of 22. Quite often I have cooked breakfast, egg, beans, bacon, peppers and tomato but occasionally banana or bran cereal with almond milk. Lunch time maybe turkey salad and tea time maybe jacket potato, steak veg. I have the occasional...

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and given 3 months to do life style changes to avoid going on medication. I have been following a low carb diet and my levels seem to have come down (finger prick test not the 3 month one). I have lost a stone in weight and am now just under 8 stone. I really...

I did a blood glucose test before going to bed after munching on red skin peanuts and my reading was 6.1. On just having a cup of black coffee on waking I tested again and was 6.5. I was told black tea or coffee would not affect the reading. Why would my result be higher? Is this result diabetic...

I haven't heard of that test, is it easy enough to do?

I was diagnosed as pre diabetic 4 years before I had the Whipple operation, to remove 1/3rd of my pancreas (head). After the operation, I was still pre diabetic, for 18 months, but have now received the diabetic label. The Dr says as I was pre diabetic both before and after the operation I am...
