T3cDM
Does anyone have any information about management of this type, not related to dementia nor cancer, but from a perspective of “brittle” diabetes, caused by pancreatitis, surgery, iron overload, etc biliary issues?

@woodspixie I’ve never heard of T3cDM but I obviously don’t know everything there is to know about Diabetes. I myself have an uncommon type (having gone from type 1 at age 18, to a pancreas transplant at age 48, then type 2 at age 59.) At least that is what my local endocrinologist tells me. I’m 68 now. I learned from a Mayo endocrinologist that “Diabetes is high blood sugar and needs to be addressed regardless of the particular type”. So that is what I focus on. Yes my diabetes has been “brittle” at times but I am blessed to have great providers to help me on this journey. I’m curious; what surgery did you have, if you don’t mind me asking? What is being done about your pancreatitis and your iron overload? I’m afraid to ask what you mean by “etc”. Last but not least, you also have biliary issues as in liver? Bless your heart! I hope other members join this discussion soon who have more experience with what you are dealing with specifically.
