Hello,
It is common for cysts to develop in pancreas after the bout of pancreatitis.
Very small cysts tend to get absorbed gradually of their own while bigger ones are surgically removed.
Since your diabetes is highly uncontrolled and having very high levels,you must be put on insulin injection for the proper sugar control.
As far as insulin pumps are concerned,they are being nanufactured by companies like ACCU- CHEK,MEDTRONIC etc.
The price of insulin pumps in India is very high and it ranges from 1 lac to 2.5 lacs.Because of high price of insulin pumps,very few people in India are using them.
Thanks
