I don't know if you read I spent Christmas Day 2004-New >Years Day 2005 for acute pancreatitis. I was posting in reply to OM's advice, though. Acute pancreatitis is awful. I have had it myself (morphine is your friend), but unless it is caused by a blocked duct (due to gallstones and easily fixed ) or a tumor (really more leaning towards chronic and not so easily fixed), drinking (do you drink alcohol?), medications (what medications are you on?) or a couple of other more rare instances, its cause is often unknown. Chronic pancreatitits is something else altogether and no need to go into that here. If your pancreas shuts down due to damage, sure, they you'd become the equivalent of a T1 diabetic, and believe me, they'd notice it on your tests and you'd notice it too, because if you are not producing any insulin, you'd be symptomatic quickly. > >There's something amiss at my clinic and I'm ready to find a doctor who >owns a private practice and isn't a puppet as the likes of Penn Care Assoc. >clincic doctors.

Though this particular physician may, indeed, not suit your needs, and granted, I really do not know your history other than what appears above, and to top it off IANAD, but I still don't see the utility of an HBA1c in this case. Why do you want one? What are your last 3 fasting BG levels? Boron |
