Bonjour à tout le monde

Mon fils ayant une pancréatite chronique génétique vient d'être diagnostiqué diabétique après une pancreatectomie distale.

Je suis vraiment perdu et ne sais pas quoi faire ?

De l'aide s'il vous plaît.

Merci.
Cordialement.

Hi @Oualid Samah , welcome to the forum.

Can you please translate your posts before posting, the forum doesn't translate automatically.
You can use Google translate and then simply copy and paste the translated text. ;)

This time I did it for you, your post in English reads:

Hello everyone

My son with genetic chronic pancreatitis was just diagnosed with diabetes after a distal pancreatectomy.

I'm really lost and don't know what to do?

Help please.

THANKS.
Cordially.

How old is your son?
Does he have an endocrinologist/diabetes team to treat him? What do his doctors say?

Diabetes caused by damage to the pancreas is called type 3C.
If insulin is needed, this type of diabetes is treated very similar to type 1, with a basal or long acting insulin to keep things stable when you're not eating, and a bolus or quick acting insulin to use for food and to make corrections.
Your son's diabetes nurse and endocrinologist are the ones who will help him/you to work out the right doses, which takes time.

Apart from the insulin, people with T3C may need to use pancreatic enzymes with food to help with digestion.

At the very start, I think the most important thing is to always carry something sweet to treat a hypo, and always keep your glucose meter on hand so he can test if he feels off in any way.

Good luck!

Bonjour @Oualid Samah , bienvenue sur le forum.

Pouvez-vous s'il vous plaît traduire vos messages avant de poster, le forum ne traduit pas automatiquement.
Vous pouvez utiliser Google Translate, puis simplement copier et coller le texte traduit.;)

Cette fois, je l'ai fait pour vous, votre message en anglais se lit comme suit :

Bonjour à tous

Mon fils atteint de pancréatite chronique génétique vient de recevoir un diagnostic de diabète après une pancréatectomie distale.

Je suis vraiment perdu et je ne sais pas quoi faire ?

Aidez-moi, s'il vous plaît.

MERCI.
Chaleureusement.

Quel âge a votre fils?
A-t-il une équipe endocrinologue/diabète pour le soigner ? Que disent ses médecins ?

Le diabète causé par des dommages au pancréas est appelé type 3C.
Si l'insuline est nécessaire, ce type de diabète est traité de manière très similaire au type 1, avec une insuline basale ou à action prolongée pour maintenir la stabilité lorsque vous ne mangez pas, et un bolus ou une insuline à action rapide à utiliser pour la nourriture et pour apporter des corrections .
L'infirmière en diabète et l'endocrinologue de votre fils sont ceux qui l'aideront à déterminer les bonnes doses, ce qui prend du temps.

Outre l'insuline, les personnes atteintes de T3C peuvent avoir besoin d'utiliser des enzymes pancréatiques avec de la nourriture pour faciliter la digestion.

Au tout début, je pense que la chose la plus importante est de toujours emporter quelque chose de sucré pour traiter une hypo, et de toujours garder votre lecteur de glycémie à portée de main afin qu'il puisse tester s'il se sent mal d'une manière ou d'une autre.

Bonne chance!

Good morning

Thank you for your translation. Indeed I forgot myself to have written in French on an English forum.

My son is 13 years old, he is currently on Tresiba® Novotordisk® and Creon ®.

Could using insulin affect remaining pancreatic insulin?

Will there be no complications in the future?

Thanks for your patience and help.

Not as far as I know. Part of his pancreas was removed so the insulin producing cells in that part of the pancreas are literally gone.
If, and how much insulin he still produces himself depends on how many beta cells are left, it's different between different people with type 3C.

But does it matter?
To my thinking, he/you (how old is he? Small child, grown up, teenager?) needs to learn how to dose the insulin he cannot make himself anymore, regardles of if/how much insulin he still produces.

There is no way to predict the future.
But diabetic complications are a result of years and decades of high blood glucose, and even then, there is a lot of variation between people. We have members who have had T1 for a very long time, and who must have had very high numbers in their youth, but are still as good as complication free (@EllieM for one), and there are people who develop complications after one or two decades.

The best way to avoid complications is to learn how to adjust doses well to minimise highs and lows.

You can live a very long and healthy life with diabetes!
