Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gran1" data-source="post: 1151195" data-attributes="member: 295783">Hi,I only joined last week....mainly because my blood levels were (and still are) so high - off the meter sometimes. I had come down with flu and felt really sorry for myself. Having read what you are going through I realise I can cope. My pancreas and duodenum and half my stomach were removed due to cancer 41/2 years ago. I am prone to highs and lows blood sugars for no apparent reason at all - they just hit. I check several times a day and inject  5 insulin shots a day. And I also have to have Creon every time I eat something. Life not a bunch of roses but hey, I survived. I'm 74 and lead an active life - still do an odd days paid work too.Having read a lot of stuff on here I feel less worried about what is happening. It is comforting to know that I am not alone. I am off on a carb counting course in June and have high hopes it will help me. Although my diabetic nurses have been very good I feel they do not really understand the impact the op had on my body.Hope you get some relief soon - best wishes.....<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
