I was diagnosed with a pancreatic cyst in 2016 and had full Whipple surgery to remove the tumor in December 2017.  Recovery was rough for the first few months, however, I persevered and returned to work after a month and a half.   Now three years into recovery, I have been diagnosed with diabetes.  In the last year and half my AIC has risen from 6.2 to 10.1.  Lazy pancreas! (or what is left of it).

I am starting out on Farxigas to see if It will lower my blood sugar.  We will see.
