Sugars suddenly out of control.

[Janeba]

Greetings everyone, Happy New Year!

I was diagnosed Type 2 10 years ago, 1 year after I had pancreatitis caused by gall stones. It's been fairly well controlled until 2 months ago when I started getting symptoms of high blood sugar, increased thirst etc. I was shocked to find my readings first thing in the morning were around 30.
I inject in the evening and my diabetes nurse advised me to gradually increase the amount I was injecting, but even going from 10 units up to 44 each evening made very little difference.
I had a CT scan on my pancreas 3 weeks ago and this morning a Doctor called me to say the CT showed no problems at all, and basically his team don't know what is sending my sugars so high, so I'm back to square one.

Apologies if that was a bit long winded but I'm wondering if anyone else here has had a similar experience, and if they found out what caused it.

I’m not an insulin user but will try throwing a few ideas out theres based on my readings til some others come along

Would the scan be able to detect further deterioration of the beta cells? Have you been sick in anyway? Had any vaccines? Changed anything else at all? Stress, food, exercise, other medications? Is the insulin all from the same batch? Could it have been compromised in anyway in storage etc?

I’m also confused about you being diagnosed type 2. Surely if you’re diabetic because of pancreatitis that makes you type 3c not 2? Type 2 are usually the result of insulin resistance initially rather than specific damage. In lots of ways type 3c is more like type 1 so far as I understand it, even though the destruction the insulin producing cells isn’t autoimmune in the case of 3c.
