Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="EllieM" data-source="post: 2517412" data-attributes="member: 372717">Have you been tested to see how much insulin you are producing?  My (limited) understanding is that the T3c folk are insulin deficient, so logically (I stress I am not a doctor) it would help to know how much insulin you are producing before you ask about medication.  Are you seeing a hospital  endocrinologist?There aren't that many T3c folk here so you may have to wait a while to get a response, Honestly, I think your best bet is to get a referral to a hospital endocrinologist, as some GPs can be a little out of their depth if you aren't a standard T2. (My apologies for stating the obvious if you are already seeing one for your diabetes.)And as far as weight gain goes, as a slightly insulin resistant T1 I control my weight by low carbing, but I have the option of adjusting my insulin to my food intake,  and I freely admit that I have no idea how compatible that is with creon use and EPI.Good luck(edited for typos)</blockquote>
