[QUOTE="christmasfairy1, post: 2618044, member: 574998"] Hi all, I've been given the run around ( following admission to hospital and insulin commenced) by the diabetes nurses on the local team. Little back story ... had varying symptoms in Feb , called my gp and said I thought I had pancreatitis ( it was text book) was told no it's not take paracetamol every 4 hours and stay hydrated. Fast forward to March ,I attended a clinic app with diabetic consultant , she'd never met me before but looked at me and said you really don't look well. Drew some blood and fast tracked it. Results glucose 29.9 ketones 5.0. Ended up being admitted to hosp over night and commenced on insulin 5 times a day. Have had a really rough time since with random hypos and 0 symptoms and just generally feeling 'mehhh'. Had a clinic appt 4 weeks ago where a cpeptide was done ( because during the overnight hosp stay they failed to process it correctly) I also had a random urine sample which when dipped was showing leukocytes / nitrites etc and was sent off to the lab. I called for the results and was told by a diabetic nurse the c peptide had come back as normal and urine was clear. Phone call the next day from the consultant herself who informs me cpeptide needs re doing as it hadn't been processed properly oh and by the way I had e coli in the urine ! So v long story short I had to have peptide re done last week and also a faecal elastase. Results have come through to my gp ( can't get to speak to them) and the cpeptide is 0.43. Now they keep telling me I'm type 1 diabetic which changed to type 3 and I cannot get any clarity. My que being is a c peptide of 0.43 hi / low ? I'm also having symptoms consistent of pancreatic issues ( frequent disgusting stool/ gas , loosing weight and upper gastric pain. At a recent trip for an xray one of the radiographers asked me if I have epi ( I've no idea,) So the result being as it is , those in the know, is this hi or low and consistent with type 3 or 1??? Many thanks in advance for getting through that essay lol Abi Update:: faecal elastase has come back as <15 . [/QUOTE]
