I only have a bit of potentially working pancreas as well ...I think we are type 3c. I have found that I have had to limit most carbs from my diet. Not sure how sustainable this is...

Are you experiencing pancreatic atrophy and finding it hard to control your blood sugar?

Controlling blood sugar with type 1 diabetes can definitely be challenging, and some days are tougher than others. Even with the best management plan, not every day will be perfect.

If you're finding blood sugar control particularly difficult, there are several approaches that might help:

- New technology like continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps can improve blood sugar control and make insulin dosing more accurate
- Artificial pancreas systems (closed-loop systems) automatically adjust insulin delivery based on your glucose levels
- For people with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes despite medications and lifestyle changes, a pancreas transplant might be an option in some cases

It's important to work closely with your healthcare team if you're struggling with blood sugar control. They can help adjust your treatment plan, evaluate new technologies, or discuss other options that might work better for your situation.

What specific challenges are you facing with your blood sugar management?
