Message: <blockquote data-quote="wheelspinner" data-source="post: 2717026" data-attributes="member: 146978">Hi Sage, I too am type 3c after suffering severe acute necrotising pancreatitis in 2018. I'm also on Creon with every meal, but have problems getting hold of it, so have reduced my tablets to eight per meal, down from 10, and 5 tablets per snack. Apparently there is a shortage of pancreatin in Europe. I also take Lansoprazole to help with acid reflux as not all antacid med work with me. Since I have had to lower my Creon intake I am loosing weight, and having to change my insulin dose regularly (by 2 units at a time) to prevent highs and lows. Not too many medical staff know or understand Type 3c, and even the diabetic nurse has only read about it before seeing me. Please don't lose hope. The night sweats could be from other things not associated with diabetes. I know I've been through them in my fifties, and the wife when she came off HRT say no more. Try and get support with your dad. we were stoic too long looking after my wife's mother with Alzheimer's, but we were helped by the local council with respite care and day sitters for a couple of hours twice a week. Keep smiling, It sometimes works or me. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
