Hi @MJ48 and welcome to the forum. Can't help directly, Type 3c is a rarity, but we have members with that diagnosis and I am sure they will be along soon to say hello.
How did your partners diagnosis come about ? I'm sure that is the first question they will ask, so I will get it out of the way.

Thanks for replying.
He has been in and out of hospital for the last few years with pancreatitis, which sadly was not well managed until his last hospital stay. He doesn't have any of the usual triggers for pancreatitis, doesn't drink and no gall stones for example. No other cause could be found and the surgeon and diabetic team were determined to find the cause. The surgeon called yesterday and confirmed the diagnosis.

Hello @MJ48, welcome to the forum.
I will copy in other member @eggyg and @Hepato-pancreato who are both type 3C and may be along shortly.
There is also a link on the main DUK site What is Type 3c diabetes? | Diabetes UK which cover quite a lot of information.

Hi and welcome from me too.
I am sure it would help to know what medication he has been given to help manage his 3c and you mention a surgeon being involved... has your partner had surgery? This info will help other 3cs get an understanding of where your partner may be at with his condition. Does he test his BG readings at home? If so what sort of readings is he getting?
