Would Any Of Those Tests Signify If I May Possibly Have Diabetes?
I was taken to the emergency room by ambulance because I suffered severe abdominal pain, which the doctor diagnosed to be acute pancreatitis. A lot of x Rays, ultra sounds, echo tests, blood and urinal samples were taken. Would any of those tests signify if I may possibly have diabetes?

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
After acute pancreatitis there is less possibility of development of Diabetes (Pancreatic Diabetes)
For confirmation of diabetes test called OGTT (Oral Glucose Tolerance Test) is recommended which is ddone on blood sample taken after fasting and again 2 hours after giving Glucose.
Hope this helps you, if so do vote helpful.
