A member asked:
Creon: as an post-op given enzyme should be taken how long before a meal. 1 md says: 1 minute before; other md says 1/2 hr. now, borderline diabetic.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Creon: Hi. How are you post-op? How did surgery go? Were the surgical margins free of cancer? I know you said you were with a very experienced team. I usually tell people to take their Creon when they start eating. We're all hoping you got a great response. Sounds like you may need insulin? Yes? No? Good luck?
