Am I Type3?

So, I'm pretty new to the forum and was always reading under the Type1 discussions, but curiosity got the better of me and I decided to have a look and see what Type3 was as i'd never heard of it. I had a total-pancreatectomy on 15th Sept and if my deductions are correct, I think I might be a Type3 diabetic now. (Even though I am treated as a Type1 with a basal/bolus regime just with the added pleasure of pancreatic enzymes too!) I did have an underlying endocrine condition which caused multiple rumours of the pancreas (thankfully all benign!) so that's why it was all whipped out! I feel a million dollars now. Am getting to grips with diabetes management but always wondered just what Type it was I am managing!!

I had no idea there was even a Facebook group to join!! But it feels good to have a certain type as I've felt like a bit of a "Fake Type1" until now!! Thank you, I'll take a look and see if I can find the Favebook group!
