[QUOTE="Davecummins, post: 2576246, member: 243316"] I had my gall bladder removed about 20 years ago after the usual symptoms suffered for years. I had. no issues or further problems for about 8 years, but then started to suffer from the same abdominal pain after eating almost anything except fruit. This went on for a couple of years and my GP diagnosed an ulcer, it came to a head after the worst attack in January 2010 when i ended up in hospital with acute pancreatitis. It was assumed this was caused by excessive alcohol consumption but I explained that this was not actually the case but this was taken with a degree of scepticism. I was told by a junior doctor I had a blocked bile duct, blocked by a cyst. After 2-3 weeks of nil by mouth I recovered. I’ve not had the symptoms again, so far! I was advised I had significant pancreatic damage (60%) and this would mean I am a risk of diabetes. All went well for a number of years until a blood test indicated pre diabetes levels, these deteriorated over time and are currently HBa1c >60. I have explained to my GP team that the meds prescribed have no effect and my only control is by cutting carbs or fasting. I am quite thin so fasting is not such a great idea! Recently I started suffering from headaches and migraines so I doubled down on no carbs and fasting to get my levels down. This seemed to work initially but i ended up with high ketones. This resolved after adding some carbs to my meals but I’m now back with relatively high glucose levels (>9 virtually all the time) no one seems to understand what type 3c is and that the treatment and meds used for T2 don’t work. I’m a bit lost at the moment as I am banging my head against a brick wall trying to get treatment that works. [/QUOTE]
