Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis and type 2 diabetes
pancreatitis
Okay I am aware this is a diabetes forum, but the thyroid ask a doctor forum is full, like they usually are.. and am seeking advice..
I was wondering, because a friend of mine has shown symptoms of hyperthyroidism, after I had done some research, and I plan on urging them to get this checked out. I also know that this person's father has pancreatitis. I read that thyroid disorders can be hereditary.
Ask what is happening and is this from gallstones and do you have pancreatitis and if so, what can you do and what can you expect. http://www.ddc.musc.edu/public/problems/diseases/pancreas/pancreatitisChronic.cfm
I hope this finds you already seen by your endocrinologist and feeling better.
The doctor told me I have type 2 diabetes and chronic pancreatitis. Which is a crap combination since I overly avoid eating anymore in fear of the potential consequence. Idk what to do, where to go, how to gain some semblance of normalcy back, and it's destroying me. Any insights would be appreciated and welcomed..
Some people are able to control Type 2 diabetes with losing and maintaining healthy weight, lowering carb intake and regular exercise. Some are not, and need medication. It is impossible to answer your question because every diabetic is different and it would depend on how high your numbers were to begin with and what you ate and did. Serious consequences (complications) from diabetes don't occur in 24 hours, they occur over time spent at high numbers.
Is it common for Pancreatitis to reoccur in people who have type 2 diabetis? I have pain in my upper stomach and am not sure if it's GERD or pancreatitis.
This discussion is related to Upper stomach problems.
Our 10 year old daughter was diagnosed with type one diabetes approximately eight months ago. From time to time, she has stomach pains - most frequently in the evening before bedtime. Her blood sugar levels at that time vary but are usually in the 100 to 175 range. She is not constipated nor does she have gas. Any thoughts or inpu would be helpfult. Is this common?
I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes 9 years ago and noticed a cyclical change in blood sugars that get worse, then better since 2015. This year, I had pancreatitis from Ozempic. Since then, I have had continuing pain in my upper left side with inflammation of the small intestine. I am now on insulin and the pain and inflammation are now going away. Anyone with Type II DM experience this before? My doctor wants to test me for auto-immune diabetes.
Hi Cheryl,
I agree with CML's suggestions. Our cat, Sammy, was diagnosed with diabetes more than 2 years ago through a blood test. When he was diagnosed, he had lost quite a lot of weight and the vet couldn't understand why Sammy was losing so much weight. I would definitely bring your cat back to your vet and ask for a blood test. You could also ask for a fructosamine test to see how much sugar is in your cat's blood. I wish you and you cat well.
My father was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis shortly after WWII. He developed it shortly after being shipped back from England in a coma with a very high temperature. He had the usual symptoms of RA but it was not symetrical. It affected different joints on either side of the body. He died in 1965. About a year before he died, he developed unusual symptoms- loss of taste, areas of de-pigmentation etc.
I read somewhere that chewing and spitting can cause an insulin response which is how you develop type II diabetes (too many insulin responses and your body loses its insulin sensitivity) and it would make sense that bulimia would also. I don't really know. if it did, you would think you would have heard about it by now though.
I am not a physician, but a mom of a type one and the daughter of a type 2. In a type one diabetic commonly called Juvenile diabetes( because it usually is diagnoses in children , but I know people that were in they 30's and 40's and were diagnosed) is when the body stop s producing insulin.
Type 2 diabetics your body still produces insulin, but cannot use it properly use the insulin without help of medication.
I'm confused. I have seen several postings with two digit type numbers that are not A1Cs, but self-test numbers. What is this "looks like a pen diagnostic machine" ? Is it something different that a regular glucose meter?
