New meds and BS issues — curious

So I’m now on pancreatic enzymes, because my lazy sack-of-crud pancreas won’t even help me digest food anymore. (Seriously — can I kick it out of the basement and make it get a job, or at least pay me some rent??) I’m finally digesting fat again, which means…. NORMAL POOP!!! Sorry for the TMI, but after 3 years of diarrhea, I’ve had enough. Also, I suddenly feel satisfied again. I used to eat and eat and eat until I was sick and still feel this overwhelming horrible NEED to eat more, more more! I get now that my body was deficient in lots of stuff because of malabsorption.

Anyway, I’ve been really good (until today, shame on me!) remembering to take my meds with every single meal. I started taking them last Friday, and my sugars are acting strangely. It seems like I’m suddenly less resistant to insulin — my highs fall faster, and sometimes lead to lows. I’ve had a low every single day since going on these meds, where I haven’t had a single one in over a month before this. I’ve actually had a day this week with TWO lows under 50. I’m sure that this is now becoming a bad cycle, because my liver is probably depleted of glucose for now.

It seems connected, but how could the meds be causing this? All they do is help me digest fat and protien (ironically, my carb-digesting enzyme, amalyse, works PERFECTLY WELL!!) — why would be able to metabolize more food help my sugars — and maybe help them a little too much?
