[QUOTE="Civilised Devil, post: 2387852, member: 524083"] Hi,Jdi sorry for the late response haven't been too well, yes, wild swings like 27 BG reading then later that day 6.5 BG no insulin taken and sometimes the other way around. Here's the thing, the consultant I got told me that as I was getting wild swings panky must be still producing insulin, but on and off and that's type 3c the beta cells that make insulin are not being attacked by the body's immune system like type 1 diabetes, they are damaged!! The insulin is not being ignored like type 2, there is at times not enough. This in my experience is a big problem as the vast majority of the health care professionals I have dealt with do not recognise this, one Doc was gonna prescribe Metaformin like type 2 only this has a side effect of causing pancreatitis!!!! Laugh, I nearly died. Expert medic, my ass. I have, sometimes for months not needed insulin as my BS count is well in range so panky must be making insulin, by the way insulin making beta cells are located in the head or tail of the pancreas, keep an eye on your blood sugar level and what sugars and carbs you eat, see is there a pattern. Keep well [/QUOTE]
