Dear lybrate-user,
you do have fairly uncontrolled diabetes and I do not think the present drugs will get this under control. If you have been losing weight and have become very thin, you will need insulin for good control. You can take an online appointment to get your diabetes problem sorted out

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query.
Diabetes is a condition occuring due to either deficiency of Insulin or resistance to its action due to fat and high glucose. Plus being overweight and being inactive adds to the problem. Reducing the weight and strictly following a proper diet, doing regular exercise can definitely help in better control But drug therapy is almost always needed.

Hello lybrate-user ji in your case, there was no surgery performed, and your pancreatitis was treated conservatively, so chances are there that you have to take medicine till you're pancreas heals, for few month to years, not lifetime.
Take care.
