[QUOTE="jules65, post: 757122, member: 56243"] In terms of dealing with Type 1 diabetes (which is how you have to look at Type 3c, which is what you have due to surgical diabetes) there is a lot of great fabulous information on this forum, you need to work out your personal carb to insulin ratio and that your basal (background) insulin is correct. In terms of the pancreatic function due to surgery - having a partial removal and non-functioning remainder, as opposed to total removal (I have had both) and it is better to control with some rather than none. Although what is left for you at the moment seems to be 'non-working' - you'll be surprised at the difference, so although it may seem daunting, there will be some action going on there (e.g. glucagon) which really helps. Is your Creon dosage controlling the steatorrhea? How do you take it and at what dosage? It may need adjusting. Since the total removal I have Brittle Diabetes, but do the best I can by limiting carbs, but cannot eat much fat due to non-digestion. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have as this isn't that common. [/QUOTE]
