Type 3c?

[Yasw233]

Just wondering if anyone else is type 3c?.
My bloods and medication has never been controlled but I was diagnosed type 1 then 2 then 1 then 2 then 3c.
Also misdiagnosed with a pancreas tumor and then chronic pancreatitis.
Lots of doctors and nurses I've spoken too don't know much about 3c.

I am, but not exactly the same condition as you and type 3 varies so much from one person another. It becomes a case I have found of trial and error and lots of testing to find a pattern that creates as much stability as possible. Low carb/keto works really well for me as an insulin user and keeps my use of insulin at the lower end of the things. It also has created the most stable blood glucose levels for me. Of course, not everyone who is type 3 uses or needs insulin.... again, just another example of variation in the condition.
