<s>[INST] This is kind of a long question but need to tell the path. Last June had a cancerous tumor taken from my pancreas along with 1/2 or so of my pancreas, margins were clear so no cancer at that time, will be checked again in June. However, In November 2017 my blood test for A1C came out at 8.2 and blood sugar at 138,He called I had type 2 diabetes so assume it was because my pancreas is smaller but he had my insulin tested and it was fine?? I told doctor I wanted to try and get it down my self w/ diet & exercise. Which I have been doing and walking 3 miles per day, no sugar, carbs, no bread, on and on. I have my 3 month appt and blood draw on Feb 20 a little over a week from now. I need another opinion before going in on your opinion for Type 2 diabetes on various meds in case i didn t get it done, I hear on ads that some of the meds have side affects mentioning pancreatitis, but not sure if I already have it since it is 1/2 the size. Thanks [/INST] Hello,In your case, I will recommend insulin therapy, second option is Sulphonylureas as Glimepride et cetera.Get your sugar level assessed by FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar), RBS (Random Blood Sugar), and HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c).Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Varinder Joshi </s>
