Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis with diabetes
pancreatitis
Okay, 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. Do you think that this has anything to do with the possible hyperthyroidism, the association between pancreatitis and thyroid disorders? I can't find much about it. And are thyroid disorders linked with 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.
He was in hospital for a couple of weeks and got better gradually. Doctors established that he had acute pancreatitis and secondary diabetes. The cyst was drained. As my husband has had pain for years and we found out that pancreatic cysts coupled with secondary diabetes (doctors established that he has had secondary diabetes for years without knowing) are symptoms of chronic pancreatitis, we thought he had, had chronic pancreatitis for years.
t necessarily pancreatitis, but look where it ended up, she was so damaged she got diabetes. But pancreatitis is a description of an inflamed pancreas, not what caused it, and you can damage your pancreas' ability to manufacture enzymes without getting pancreatitis. I'm afraid one way or the other you're going to have to see a gastroenterologist if you want to get a diagnosis that tells you if you have a problem with your pancreas, and that will require a lot of diagnostics.
In November 2008 I went into the hospital with pancreatitis. I knew nothing about pancreatitis before that day but that day changed my life forever. I went into the emergency room 3 times before they finally figured out what was wrong and admitted me. Once they realized the severity of my condition they said if I had waited even 24 before getting treatment I could have died. I was there for 10 days. I spent my 30th Birthday and Thanksgiving in that hospital.
Thannks a lot Dr. for answering me. My husband ( 39 yrs old) got diabetes after he had chronic pancreatitis attack last year. he does not have any pain for the last one year and he also takes his pancreatic enzymes. His weight has neither decreased nor increased. Is having Diabetes Mellitus because of pancreatitis a major risk factor for Cancer. Please answer me i will be highly thankful to you for this .
Due to excessive alcohol consumption, I have been hospitalized with pancreatitis 3 times. They were all very severe attacks. I've been sober since the last hospitalization, over a year ago. I have constant pain in my back and under my rib cage, where my pancreas is located. My doctor says it should eventually stop hurting but it doesn't seem to be improving. My gallbladder has been removed, my blood work is normal and scans of my pancreas show nothing.
One thing I should mention, pancreatitis can be a precursor to diabetes. A year later, max developed diabetes. (We manage it very well with diet and Vetsulin but it takes dedication, a rigid feeding schedule and 2 shots a day.) Keep an eye out for the symptoms once your pal is well. Early symptoms include increased drinking, iurinating more (accidents may be a sign), weight loss, increased appetite, dehydration and sudden cataract formation.
i was bulemic from the age of 13 to 15 and at 15 i had my tonsils removed then was diagnosed with diabetes type 1. The docs said it was shock to the system with having had the tonsils out but i know with all my heart it was a gift from the man above that said to me shut the hell up and look after the gift i gave you..... Yes my body...... Love all that you have its all you've got............. Smile...............
I was diagnosed with mild pancreatitis over 4 years ago it is on going. I currently still am experiencing slight pain on my right side. I have been seen by a GI doctor and a CT Scan, Ultra sound, MRCP have been performed. No issues have been found, I asked if it could be cancer and was told no tumors or cist we found wehn reviewing the xrays. We then tried to stop my BP meds thinking they could be the cause, but I could not stay off of them long enough to make a determination.
Is there any possible relationship with gall bladder and pacreas that can cause seriously high sugars. I have presented with dizziness, light headed, mild nausea last Friday, Doctor ran multiple blood test and only reported thyroid low and sugar elevated higher than ever since diagnosis in 2000. A1C came back 11.7 (ridiculous) my glucose was 297 mid morning but not fasting.
Thank you so much! What kind of specialist could I see about this? I desparately want to get to the bottom of this. My diabetes and high blood pressure have caused kidney desease- stage 3- and maybe getting to the main problem will help. Thank you so much!
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..
Door, autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is an unusual form of pancreatitis that has only recently been recognized as a distinct disorder. AIP is an unusual form of chronic pancreatitis. The immune system mistakenly attacks healthy pancreas tissue, causing inflammation and hardening. Symptoms closely mimic pancreatic cancer (pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma), but the disease process is different. It can be a multisystem disorder in which the disease can affect other parts of the body.
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.
I have had pancreatitis before and this does feel very similar. Fortunately, this time it went away but pancreatitis is extremely painful and doesn't go away. I was kept in the hospital for 7 days, no food, no water, intravenous fluids and strong pain medication every 2 to 4 hours as needed! I NEVER want to experience that again but I can't help but fear that I will. My pancreas was damaged by both the diabetes and by the pancreatitis so my chances are high of having this reoccur.
My 10 year old schnoodle was recently diagnosed with pancreatitis. Tests showed many of her organs were swollen and inflamed and her heart was not beating properly. This was only a about 10 days ago. She is still recovering, but to my alarm, I find her vision has also suddenly deteriorated. What could possibly have caused all of these things to go so wrong so fast? She has been a very healthy dog all of her life, until this. I can't imagine why everything has gone wrong at once. Please help.
How long can someone live (approx) with Chronic Pancreatitis when they are a heavy drinker? I have a family member that was Diagnosed with this and continues to drink heavy! He has had many attacks! This last time they wanted to place him in ICU but he checked him self out against Medical advise! If he continues to drink like this what will happen to him? Worried!!!

My chocolate lab "Skip" is about 10 years old and developed pancreatitis for the first time. We took him to the doctor he never vomited or diahrea until the day after he got to the vets office. His amalyse was high like 8000 and his glucose and white blood count low but we got an ultrasound to make sure not cancer. He started to show improvements with the IV and antibiotic. Now a week later he is starting to decline and the vet has tried everything.
not taking care of your diabetes can cause pancreatitis. Seen my 17yr old son go through it :/ not good. can be very dangerous and become very painful followed by hospitalization. You will be on straight iv fluids and not be allowed to eat or drink anything! Not even ice chips. I strongly suggest you get in to see your endo asap. Please take better care of yourself. I know its hard as a teenager to have to deal with diabetes. However, you must learn to accept it and stay strong!
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 am also struggling with anxiety even though I have never before had ANY problems with it. My doctor diagnosed me with low testosterone after a few months of just placing me on different antidepressants. I began taking the testosterone injections and things began to improve, I even had a few episodes of clarity. However, a few weeks after beginning the injections the abdominal pain returned along with all of the other pancreatitis symptoms.
