So I was originally diagnosed as type 3c, after a 2 year battle with recurring pancreatic caused by obstructive gallstones. It happened just before the wonderful times of COVID so delays and delays meant it was 2 years before my gallbladder was removed. I excitedly thought it was all over and got my diabetes diagnosis the next day.
I was on basal insulin and dapaflaglozlin or however it's spelled. Diabetes nurse persuaded me to look into bariatric surgery and I went for it. Went into remission almost immediately. Lost a bit of weight, but not loads (but not my main concern) and have regained most of it back.
I am however much more active than before and work with a personal trainer in the gym once a week which is never have had the confidence to do before. I had my diabetes review and my hba1c has slowly climbed to 52. As it's now been I think 3 years since my gallbladder was removed the person today is writing to the diabetes team at the hospital to see if I can be reclassed as type 2 rather than 3c as it alters treatment approaches.
Funny old journey, but thanks to this place I feel much better informed.
