Hi Shelby, Welcome to this site. I am fairly new to this site and have found it very helpful. I noticed how recently you were diagnosed. You must still be reeling. Hang in there, we are here to listen and help. Wendy
SHELBY replied July 14, 2009 10:21 PM i just do not understand I have been hypo for 20 yrs now and got put in the hospital and told I had pancrititis then they come back and say I have type 1 and I begged them not to put me on shots so they put me on pills and said they will try to manage it with diet and pills I am so confused and you would think that I would be better understanding being as both my grandmother were on shots daily and so are two of my mom's siblings.
roger replied July 14, 2009 10:30 PM i did the diet and pills for over ten years befor i went on shots and then the pump . i wish they had put me on the pump when they put me on the shots. i mite not have so many side eff to deal with now
SHELBY replied July 15, 2009 1:55 PM He has me on three diffrent pills and YES I DO THANK GOD that I have not had to go on shots I seen both my grandmothers do that for years. I have to have a biopsy on my pancrease on Friday they have not ruled out cancer. I just in shock I am a very active person and eat really heathy. Guess it is the Genetics we are given.

Shelby, With pancreatitis there is no going back. I had acute attack out of the blue in 2006, and because of all the damage to pancreas I immediately became diabetic, and have to use insulin. SO....I am so happy that you still get to take pills. I know you may not look at it that way right now. Wendy |
