I have been in the hospital for pancreatitis. Now that pain in my back has come back. Our car is broke down and I have no insurance. I also have type 2 diabetes. Do I have to go back to the ER to get effective treatment? The doctor said that the Metformin I was taking gave me the pancreatitis, then when they let me go home, I couldn't afford the Jenovia they prescribed me. So the health department put me back on Metformin, and now I'm in pain! What can I do?

Is anyone on Pancrease, and how are you doing with it?

Thank you. Hoping I won't end up with diabetes, but if I do I will consult an endocrinologist.

Hello @harper7745,

I am glad that your current blood sugar numbers are normal, but I can certainly understand your concern about diabetes given that you have a problem with your pancreatitis. After your next MRI, you might consider a consultation with an endocrinologist. These doctors specialize in diabetes and other hormone-related problems. They are generally brilliant people. I think of them as the IT doctors of the body.
