[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2364652, member: 6467"] Type 3c (if you accept the definition) is diabetes caused by a disease such as pancreatitis damaging the pancreas. Logically therefore this could happen to a non-diabetic or to a diabetic. In which case the prior state of diabetes is irrelevant. This is absolutely not (as described) a progression from T2 to T1. So if the pancreas has failed due to pancreatitis you are effectively in the same position as a T1 - your pancreas is not producing insulin. I note that [USER=47477]@juliekem[/USER] doesn't provide details of diabetes control and medication prior to the pancreatitis but if the pancreas has been damaged then effectively being T1 (that is, not producing any significant insulin) seems to be the most likely outcome.
