Hi,

Your pancreatitis could be a factor - but it isn't always.
That link that @GrantGam gave is to a section of the forum for type 3cs, but it is perfectly possible to have type 2 and a history of pancreatitis, but not type 3c.

Sorry if that isn't very helpful! Maybe you could compare your experiences with the 3cs.

From what i have seen, a lot of NHS staff don't recognise 3c as a distinct form of diabetes, so you may need to ask for a referral to a specialist.

Hope that helps.
