[QUOTE="miahara, post: 2461386, member: 256148"] Hi [USER=545344]@Rleady1357[/USER] and welcome. I'm in pretty much the same boat as you are. My pancreatitis diagnosis came largely by chance after a CT scan for another issue and after a bit of further investigation it turned out I've a calcified cyst on my pancreas. Now, the good thing about your and my diagnosies is that now we know what's's what we can start to live our lives adapting to our somewhat iffy pancreas that don't push out enough insulin and don't allow us to gain nutrition for what we eat. You may find that you are prescribed Creon as pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) and if you are this should sort any digestive issues. As far as managing diabetes goes you just maintain your use of insulin, though if you commence PERT you'll possibly find your I:C ratio changes a bit. I was recently 'upgraded'? from T2 to T3c as a result of my pancreatitis, but the label doesn't really make any difference to how my D is managed, it just explains how I got here. Your chronic pancreatitis is no death sentence at all, it's just another 'condition' that you've been lumbered with while you get on with enjoying life. If you haven't already done it ask your GP or Consultant abour PERT. [/QUOTE]
