Lactose intolerant so can't have any dairy products in diet. Means no chocolate!
I was diagnosed with what was called late onset type 2 diabetes. Tablets and diet did not bring down my b.s. enough so, after struggling for a couple of years I was started on insulin. My diabetes control improved dramatically. Still classified as type 2.
I'm interested in this discussion about pancreatitis as I'm also now lactose intolerant, caused by malfunctioning pancreas I'm told. I'm now wondering if these two conditions are related.
 
I had pancreatitis caused by an infected gall bladder,then was told I had type 2 diabetes cIty since had the gall bladder removed. Am trying to control it by dirty as metformin made me ill.Have I got type 3 ?.

By diet I mean
 

I was diagnosed with type one sudden onset diabetes three years ago. I am not sure what caused it but I suffered several bouts of really bad tummy upsets whilst abroad and wondered if it as connected. A diabetes nurse told me recently that a virus causes type one. I also wondered if a compromised or overworked immune system caused by much childhood illness could be the cause. Any ideas?
