Hi, not quite the same condition. I have been type 1 diabetic for 66 years and have several other medical issue caused by being on insulin for so many decades. Having lost over 4 stone in weight over a period of 18 months and several negative scans, I saw a new GP last December who sent me a poo test to check on enzymes produced by the pancreas. The test was positive, ie a very low enzyme production and I saw a pancreatic gastronomy consultant in January. He prescribed 9 creon tablets daily, 3 with each meal.
Two weeks ago I had a review appointment with him and he asked me when I was next due to see my diabetic consultant. I told him the first week in August and he recommended I mention to the diabetologist that he (PANCREATIC consultant) thought I might have Tyoe 3c in addition to Type 1 diabetes. My symptoms suggest type 3c but he is not a trained expert in diabetes and should seek advice and discuss with the diabetologist.
