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.

That is a whole different ball of wax, and if at any time you feel
your medical care is inadequate or does not serve your needs, seek
better.

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?
