[QUOTE="Josie3c, post: 1531171, member: 409553"] I have Type 3c also and pancreatic insufficiency following acute severe gallstone pancreatitis which also caused necrosis of pancreas nearly 5 years ago. I was diagnosed diabetic last December with Hba1c of 52. Immediately went on a no added sugar low carb diet, already a vegetarian in prep for fasting blood glucose test a month later. My fasting blood sugar had gone up. My take on this if firstly there is variation particularly where a damaged pancreas is concerned. Also sugar has been stored in the liver and following a good diet can help the body clear out this stored sugar which may cause an increase in glucose in the bloodstream. This type of diabetes is more complex as the pancreas is also struggling to heal itself which can cause fluctuations in how it manages glucose. I got my HBa1c down to 48 but experience a lot of variation in my daily fasting blood sugar and worry about the next average count going up. It's hard not to get disheartened by the constant struggle particularly when it's not giving the results you expect. We're in it for the long haul....just keep up everything you're doing and expect some set backs. [/QUOTE]
