Just looking to see if anyone has had similar problems

[Canonjames]

Hi. I'm a 52-year-old who has developed type one at the age of 12 after a flu-like viral attack. Recently I have had my gall bladder removed but the pain has not stopped. After nagging, it looks like my pancreas is the problem. I will start enzymes tomorrow. I'm worried. The pain is so bad that I've been put on morphine patches. Is there anyone with similar problems?

Hello Cannonjames. It makes me wonder how the body works in the first place. I have been T1 since 1966 aged 3 & never heard of anyone having that type of probs. Lots of heart probs & do really think diabetes tests your body at times. Really good luck

Thanks, I wonder if its not the T 1 diabetes but my immune system. I was 11 when I developed the T1 after a flu like virus, So it could be why unlike you its effecting other things, hopefully I will get to the bottom of it.

Hi Canonjames ,

What enzymes did your doctor prescribe for you?

sorry this has all be going to spam! its Creon but spoken to my insulin pump nurse and she say its to small a dose 40000 per meal so that is why still in massive pain, but still waiting for referral so stuck on a limb. she has suggested going top A and E next time it get bad.

It might sound daft but I drink Tetley tea that is good for your Immune system. Lots of different flavours but every little helps.
