[QUOTE="Milliebuglet, post: 1236667, member: 318309"] Dear Deepika, I really do sympathise with you having had chronic pancreatitis for 4 years up until surgery in March this year. Do you inject before or after food? Do you finish your meals or regularly leave some? I've had the same problem since surgery to remove most of my pancreas and all of my duodenum along with my gall bladder (a Whipples procedure). I now inject after the meal depending on quantity of carbs actually eaten and this reduced the daily hypo's. In addition, my nurse said that I might have been overusing my injection sites which can cause 'pooling' of the insulin which suddenly releases in one go and drops your sugars rapidly. I was experiencing 'crash hypo's' whereby my sugars could go from the 9's right down to the 2's in half an hour and without any warning or symptoms. Have a long chat with your DSN. Mine are wonderful and completely understand the difference when being a Type 'other'. Are you booked for surgery? Even a small increase in my activity has an amazing effect on my sugars so life is just one continuous testing routine. I'm hoping to persuade them to prescribe a continuous monitoring unit when I go back in November if things haven't settled. [/QUOTE]
