T2 and Pancreatitis

1. Hello, I am type 2 diabetic for 11 years, then diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis 3 years. I take CREON up to 9 a day. I was told I could eat anything, just assess how much fat is in your meal/snack, but I find spicy/rich food and bread can have an effect on pain. I now try to eat healthily and in moderation which has worked for me up to now. I am getting higher BS readings than I used to. I eat to how I feel, sometimes missing meals as I am bloated and just can’t face food. I hope this helps

Have you had an updated C-peptide test?

As a long term T1 (pancreas produces no insulin) low carb is pretty good because it reduces the amount of insulin I need to take (and hence the bg swings).

Good luck. Hopefully your pancreas will still be functional, there are plenty of useful things it produces other than insulin.
