[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2285192, member: 401801"] Diabetes after a removed pancreas is usually Type 3C, which is a term practically no-one knows. Our cat had it, and the vet kept insisting it was type 2, while his betacells were just not functioning at all, making zero insulin due to pancreatitis. A Type 2 makes insane amounts of insulin, but is insensitive to it. Too much or too little, different causes, I'd say you need someone who knows what your actual type is and will act accordingly. (We ended up taking Night to the university clinic because the vet couldn't get it right on his own, but even the professor there claimed T2...! And that's an expert teaching classes! No wonder I was confused as heck when I developed T2 and everything I thought I knew was wrong!) As for your diet, it is a far cry from low carb. And I do think there's ground to be gained here. You're putting pita, carrots, wholemeal sandwiches/rice and spuds into a system that can no longer deal with any of that.
