A member asked:

I am a type 1.5 diabetic. what other hormones/enzymes could my pancreas be deficient? my liver is constantly over producing glucagon.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None: Just make sure to lose weight through diet and exercise and continue to work with your doctor to control your blood sugar and lower your risk of complications. A dpp4 inhibitor or a glp-1 agonist can decrease the excess glucagon secretion if indicated.
