Hi, it's so good to see other people with the same medical problem as me and would very much like your advice and recommendations.
I have exocrine pancreas insuffiency and 'type 2 diabetes' I take Creon plus 2000mg prolonged release Metformin. I have been taking these meds for the last 3 years. I also have hashimoto's, b12 deficiency and hypertension, under control with medication).
In 2018 my A1c was over 10% due to medication not absorbing (thyroid was all over the place as well) I doubled my Creon and it has helped to an extent. Last month my A1c was 8.5%. my blood sugar levels are all over the place and I wake up with a high reading every morning. When I eat (I experiment and follow low carb diet. Non smoker non drinker. Walk everyday and bounce on my trampoline at home, - too fatigued to do more, however I am active) my levels rise and stay high for at least 4 hours and I feel completely fatigued. Then when the level drops drop I feel 'weird'. The level never drops below 9 mmol/L when I have tested on my Accu-check. Last week I had a fasting glucose test with the Dr and it was 12 mmolL. My Dr decided to try me on Gliclazide as well as my Metformin, that was last Tuesday, by Friday I couldn't take any more, major severe diarrhoea, no change in glucose reading, severe migraine and feeling very ill, so I stopped them and will advise the dr on Monday.
What I would love to know:
What medications do you take for 3c diabetes
Most importantly, can someone please recommend a Dr/Specialist anywhere in the UK who specialises/knows exactly how to treat EPI and diabetes by private messaging me. I am very willing to go private as I need to get myself in better health without Dr's 2nd guessing on how to treat me.
Many thanks in advance
