[QUOTE="Walking Girl, post: 2248545, member: 510059"] Goodness. I can’t even comprehend having part of your pancreas removed and not being told! I’m a classic obesity induced T2, so of limited assistance. However, I think one step is insisting on a fasting, and stimulated if you can push for it, C-peptide test which will tell how much insulin the remainder of your pancreas is producing, and generally thus, if you can diet and exercise control for now or need insulin off the bat. I read some fascinating studies when first diagnosed and it all seems to depend on how many Beta cells you had to begin with and how many were removed. Some people had 25% removed and needed insulin, others had 75% removed and were still OK. also, for all of us of any type, reduce insulin resistance as much as possible via a high quality diet, regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight is important. Edited to add: duh, you already said you are on Tresiba, so you are on insulin. Regardless, a C Peptide will tell you how much indigenous insulin you are producing still. [/QUOTE]
