[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2248559, member: 372717"] Not sure it has to progress in your case. Obviously you're still producing some insulin, it's not clear to me that that production has to reduce further, given that the deficit is caused by surgery rather than disease. I would have thought that the fact that you don't require digestive enzymes is promising, your pancreas is still doing some things properly. And maybe you can make the insulin you have suffice if you lower the carbs in your diet??? In your position I'd want to know the cause of the pancreatitis and whether there's anything you need to do to avoid a recurrence. Hopefully your endo can discuss this? (All I can find from google is gallstones and alcohol moderation.) I agree with [USER=510059]@Walking Girl[/USER] that more tests, particularly c-peptide, would help to discover more about your condition and its diabetic implications, I would hope that your endocrinologist is already doing this. Most important, you need to know what to do so as to avoid a recurrence of the pancreatitis. And yes, it's shocking that you weren't told any of this before. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
