I'm having a pancreatitis attack?

I am in the middle of a pancreatitis attack and when I eat it hurts so bad. Now my sugar is down low. What can I eat or drink to bring my sugar up that won't make me hurt? I am on my 2nd day. Just now getting a little relief.

This is not a condition to receive advise online. Hope you’ve been seen by your physician.
Non fat diet, but your body starts digesting from you smell food, the Pavlov loop. Maybe orange juice will work.
If you are truly having a pancreas "attack", i.e. pancreatitis, then this usually requires hospitalization for IV fluids, pain control, and avoidance of oral intake especially if it is worsening the abdominal pain. If eating is making you hurt then you should not be eating and you need to go to the hospital.
Go to the hospital.
