Anyone know about 3c diabetes?

[joni59]

Last year (exactly one year ago today as a matter of fact), I took a terrible fall. I really hurt my shoulder and I thought that was about it. A month after the injury, I ended up in the hospital for pancreatitis (acute), then I have had about 3 more episodes of pancreatitis where it is now called chronic pancreatitis. Ok, so I thought I just have to get used to it. Well then yesterday I took my BS because I felt really really bad and I was 175. I know that's not normal. Could this be what I have? I haven't ever had these problems before the traumatic injury. I've been doing some research and I never knew there was a type 3 c diabetes caused by pancreatitis.

There are people who have posted here where they have been diagnosed with diabetes due to pancreas problems.

I would suggest that you go back to your G.P. and ask him to refer you to an Endocrinologist so that tests can be carried out as per the article.
