Passive smoke

Not sure passive smoking is the cause, I’m a smoker for my sins and I don’t have high numbers, I know it’s bad for me on all levels though it’s the one thing I struggle to give up

And your T2 diagnosis was 9 years ago?
GP's often don't know much about T3C, definitely ask!

Hello I totally get it
MY dad was diabetic type 2 he drunk and smoked
He died aged 48

I smoked for 1 year after dm type 2 dx

I was terrified seen my dad do so il
I really wanted too stop smoking
I tried NRT. Gum. Patches ect

I'd stop and it was hell not smoking
I really was a chain smoker
I'd smoke again after a short while

Too be at a place was sick of smoking
Wanted too stop
But Couldent
And Wasent cos of lack of trying

Then I tried vaping
I. Ve not smoked for 8 years
I'd never of managed too stop otherwise

I still vape now

Can honestly say I'm not anti smoking
Been there
Know how hard it is too quit

Some people can stop
But not everyone manages that

With a test for C-peptide they can see how much insulin you produce yourself.

The pancreas is the organ that produces both insulin and those digesting enzymes.
Seeing as you need to take creon because your pancreas is knackered, it makes sense to find out if you still produce enough insulin.
Type 3C is when the pancreas is damaged, for instance by pancreatitis.
If I were you I would want to know if I had type 2 or type 3C.
