[QUOTE="Jaded Judi, post: 2095416, member: 66878"] Hi all. Just wondered if you could help me. I am not sure if I am a Type 3c diabetic but I do have pancreatic insufficiency and take creon. I was diagnosed as Type 2 about 4 years ago and put on metformin SR which has gradually increased as my blood sugar levels are not great. Last reading was 74 HBA1C. Diabetic consultant suggested 800 calorie diet although my BMI is 29, so not overweight per se! Thought it might shock my pancreas into responding better! Also mentioned a change to Foxiga which makes you pee more - which sounds wonderful as I cannot tolerate any more metformin as tummy been awful lately. She says I have secondary diabetes as I still produce some insulin but have a blocked duct and do not make any enzymes anymore. Never had pancreatitis and when they did an endoscopy all is otherwise well with no tumours etc. Hoorah. Has anyone else been on Foxiga? How do I know if it is the metformin or creon that upsets my tum - or both! I eat sensibly, but haven't done a complete LHCF diet, as I can't digest fat. I have cut down on carbs and my doctor says as I have diverticular disease too I should eat fibre. Getting conflicting advice and at the moment my priority is my tum. Fed up with rushing to the loo even though I have taken Imodium before going out. I know I should try to get my blood sugar down but it isn't my priority. Help please. [/QUOTE]
