What happens when your pancreas is removed? Jen M. joins us to talk about Type 3C Diabetes, which occurs after a pancreatectomy (among other times).
We often moan that with T1D our pancreas doesn’t work, but total removal of the pancreas causes other health problems—the pancreas does MORE than just produce insulin. Listen in to hear about what Type 3C Diabetes entails.
Meet Jen M.
Jen M. is a type 3c diabetic and education advocate for rare forms of diabetes.
Jen had a total pancreatectomy five years ago that resulted in type 3c diabetes, among other health problems.
For Jen, diabetes was a choice.
