When I was in for a biopsy, they discovered that I have diabetes. It's not lifestyle related - I'm a good weight and eat healthily. In fact, I've lost a lot of weight, which is apparently a symptom. Of course, we all assumed the significant weight loss was due to the cancer. I am reeling a bit. My levels were so high that they thought the machine must be broken! Now have a regime of finger pricks and will need to have the chemo taken into account with the meds I have been put on to control it (which are working). Has this happened to anyone else? I have read that there is a link between the 2 diseases which is poorly understood.
