Sorry I've not heard of it. Are you being treated for your liver issues ?

I don't know anyone with this type - but if any of you are interested you can read about it at Cystic Fibrosis-related Diabetes Studied By UF (http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/46755.php)

Hey Krystal! Welcome to the Forums!

While not exactly the same as yours, I've been told I have diabetes as a result of pancreatitis (a side effect I guess - kind of like yours).

And yea, it sucks, but trust me we all learn to deal :) So if you have any questions, ask away, because this is an awesome group of people here and you'll be amazed with the knowledge (and patience) they have!
