[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2636704, member: 372717"] Hi [USER=579253]@Dudette[/USER] I've just started on a G7 recently (moved from a G6) and it does seem accurate,most of the time. But cgms aren't always accurate for all people, so I do check mine against a glucometer. Personally, I find mine tends to read a bit hugh once in double figures, ir it might say I'm 11 when I'm actually at 10. The G7 allows you to calibrate your meter against your glucometer (which are generally considered more accurate). I had to google fecal elastase but given that is a possible marker for pancreas issues I might ask for .another hba1c and maybe a cpeptide test. The latter measures how much insulin you are producing. T3c is diabetes caused by problems with the pancreas, so my guess is that you [I]might[/I] want to see an endocrinologist to get that checked out. The pancreas doesn't just produce insulin and an endocrinologist should be able to advise you on all the possible issues that could be caused by repeated bouts of pancreatitis. But to be honest your figures don't look too bad to me (disclaimer, am a T1 and not a doctor) so hopefully you are fine. [/QUOTE]
