Hi Everyone, my name is Connie. I was diagnosed T2 in July 2016 (A1C of 7.0), This after having an impacted gallbladder and severe pancreatitis in October 2014. Second pancreatitis attack 3 months later with lipase level of 11,802 (normal is 10-30). During this hospital stay they did a procedure that resulted in a hematoma…

238....i walked around Disney California Adventure (twice) and the like plus back to the parking garage (had to work off the corn dog and berry shortcake lol). I was 311 when I went to bed last night. Happy Friday

249. Lowest since 3/31

When i started taking metformin my usual BG was in the 140s. After months,and months with no improvement the Dr added Actos. My BG is now running in the 200s. I have pancreas problems that dont help either. UGH.

I am going to get some and test my meter....

I take 850mg 2x a day and 30mg actos 1x. I was told to take with food so I take 1 metformin and the actos in the morning and the 2nd metformin with dinner. I see that some people take theirs before bed, is it ok to take without food? Was thinking I might try taking my 2nd dose at bedtime or even a 3rd dose as my fasting BG…

Eating well is a form of self respect

I am on 850 metformin and am told to take 2x a day with meals. I take with breakfast (and 1 30mg actos) and with dinner. I am down 60lbs since end of July 2016, try to keep carbs at 30 or less per day, and my numbers in the morning way exceed 200...this morning 289. Any suggestions

Way to go!

How do I stop getting notifications from here?

289 waking. 254 3hrs post. At least it is Lower

With the metformin and long acting insulin, how are your BG numbers?

OMG... I hope you got a lawyer after all that. My first round was when in October 2014 when they removed my impacted gallbladder, which gave me pancreatitis. Second round was 3 months later with Lipase level of 11,802. During this visit they tried to do an ERCP and couldn't get the scope down so they ran a wire through my…

This morning - 250

Oh, believe me I won't be doing that again...

Ugh mine was 273 when I got up this morning. I believe the chocolate peanut butter milk shake might have had something to do with it.

I've had pancreatitis 5 times since 10/2013, that one was due to impacted gallbladder. I was thinking of weight loss surgery but was having other stomach issues and was referred to GI Dr. He did an ERCP and found my bile duct is malformed and my pancreas was too. He said he felt that pancreas divism was the cause but…

I thought about it but I have pancreas issues and one of the side effects can be pancreatitis....not going there again. Good luck.

What exactly is pancreas divism? I've had quite a few challenges with my pancreas, and I've never heard of that. Today when I got up, after a very restless night, my FBS was 13.9(250). Number of reasons I can think of, restless night, snacking too late, or maybe the strip was bad. 2 hours later, 6.1 (110). So, I'll…

Good morning. 211 this morning. I had a whole wheat sandwich for dinner last night about 8pm. Too much carbs I guess.

The EUS wasn't as conclusive as we hoped. There's too much scaring from all the pancreatitis attacks so they couldn't tell if I have divism or not. Hopefully the gastroenterologist can read more.

When i was first diagnosed I was 6.9.....now 9.2.....bg runs way high and I have pancreas problems

Hi. I've been T2 since last year...ive lost 58lbs since then but BG still way high and a1c rising. Feel free to friend me. Good luck in your journey.

223. I had a big dinner coming back to bite me. I'm having an electroscopic ultrasound to check my pancreas (comfirming if i pancreas divism) this afternoon so cannot eat or drink until probably 6 or 7 tonight. They don't want me to take meds.

I have so much to learn. In 2014 i was hospitalized with impacted gallbladder and had it removed but i had pancreatitis too and hospitalized for 9 days... Have had pancreatitis 4 (once my lipase level was 11,802.) more times since and am now T2 since mid 2015. The Dr believes I have pancreas divism and tomorrow I am having…

@mrron2u ... thanks for the information, I had forgotten that bit of info. It was almost 9 by the time I got home and I didn't want to eat that late. Next time I will try the meat/cheese thing..and I have a stationary bike I can ride... I have pancreas issues as it is causing me diabetes that is hard to control as it is.

225 this morning. No dinner last nite as I was already at 243. No more insulin pen until monday....any thoughts?

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

I had mine out 10/14 but with complications (pancreatitis)...i was NPO for 8 days. I have to stay away from high fat, gassy and HI carbs. I've had pancreatitis 4 times since....turns out I have a birth defect and have T2 because of it. Mostly just listen to your body
