I had a pancreatectomy in October of last year, I was told by the surgeon that I have enough pancreas left over for digestive function and do not require Enzymes. This has been true for at least the last 6 months but over the past month, I've been having stomach pains every single day. It...

Just quoting my post? Are you trying to post as well?

I should of addressed this in my last post, I actually have contacted the college of surgeons and physicians of my province and sent them every bit of detail of how I was treated. Nervous and anxious to see how it plays out.

I brought this up to the lawyer I was contacting and her response was malpractice is not about what would or could of happened, its about what injury in reality happened.

I did consult a legal team, I would have a very strong case....except the fact that I did not face any injured due to the negligence. The rule where I'm from is it's considered malpractice only if the lack of standard of care causes an injury, in my case no physical injury was caused if you...

Hi Ellie, I'm curious to know if there are studies or research done that mention secondary diabetes doesn't progress. May I ask if there a particular reason which makes you believe I may not see a rise in the future?

Thank you Honeyend, IMO you shouldn't of had to ask them, it is the hospital's responsibility to tell you what it was that they removed or didn't remove. Surely if it wasn't your pancreas necrotising then your diabetes is not due to a pancreatectomy if my knowledge is correct, it would of been...

Yes, I'm actually not in the UK, next to my result of 1.22 nmol/L it lists the Range which is 0.30-2.40, the test was indeed done while fasting. Also, you're right the high morning numbers is the reason they put me on Tresiba.

Thank you sir, I see your flavour reads you're a Type 3c member, if you get a chance are you able to read my other thread in the type 3c sub forum and give me your thoughts or what kind of a road I may possibly be in store for?

I should add that my surgeon, hospital team, endo, and family doctor all have no idea why I have gotten 2 attacks. I have no family history, non smoker and drinker. Unfortunately not what I wanted to hear but I can only do what I know of just, just cautious with the stuff I put in my body.

Hi guys I appreciate the advice, I did have my C-Peptide done about two months ago. My results were 1.22 nmol/L for C-Peptide Final and Insulin Final was 58.0 pmol/L. They took these numbers and coordinated them with my Glucose Fasting which was 8.6 mmol/L and put me on tresiba. Do these...

Hi guys, I have secondary diabetes which started about 7 months ago after my pancreatectomy. I take Tresiba at bedtime to bring my morning levels below 7 mmol. I have noticed over the span of several months that my blood sugars will stay in the same range post meal for several hours. I have...

Hi guys, I'm so thankful there is a forum where I can share my story with people dealing with the same disease as me in both Pancreatitis and Secondary Diabetes. I mostly have questions in regards to my Secondary Diabetes but also would like to share my story of how I got here. My Story. I'm...
