[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2445810, member: 372207"] I think you'd best start a new thread with your questions, as that will reach much more people. If your diabetes is caused by damage to your pancreas you'd have type 3C, not T2. But pancreatitis does not automatically lead to so much damage that it causes diabetes, for some it does, for others it don't. As for coming off medication, that's wait and see. You've already seen how much difference your change in diet has made, and you've only just started! GP's are generally not very aware of T3C. You could ask for a C-peptide test, which tells you something about the amount of insulin you produce, but as your dietary changes work so well I doubt your GP will agree to it. What medication are you on? If you're on gliclazide, always take something sweet and your meter with you; now you've reduced the amount of carbs you eat you could go too low on that medication.
