A member asked:
I had severe attack of pancreatitis and was diagnosed with diabetes. recent tests show normal a1c levels and no glucose spikes. wrong diagnoses?

Depends: Depends on how the original diagnosis was made. Also are you being treated for diabetes? Your a1c might be normal because you are under treatment. What is the current a1c?

No: Pancreatitis is an acute inflammation/ injury to pancreas; under this stress beta cells in pancreas may not produce enough Insulin and you may be resistant to its action given stress of this illness. It sounds like you got over this episode, pancreas healed and now beta cells working normally and you lost your stress-related Insulin resistance-- thus explaining your now normal sugars/ hga1c.
