[QUOTE="Refandy, post: 1274085, member: 93415"] I had a total pancreatectomy just over a year ago and have the same problem. The insulin kicks in before the food digests. If I take what insulin I need for the carbs, I hypo then without correcting I end up high. I've tested my basals endlessly and they are all good. I'm trying to resolve the problem by taking around 60% of the insulin when I eat and then the rest somewhere between 60 and 90 minutes later. Some times it works and sometimes it doesn't. It's really difficult at work as I'm having to test and inject all the time which isn't convenient or even possible. I've invested in a libre to see if that helps. It's early days but so far it has made little difference. My consultant is great and she understands the difficulties of pancreatic diabetes. I'm starting to think a pump might be the answer but even then I'm not sure if that would work as the delay in digestion seems to differ every night. If you work out the answer then let me know.
