Hi All,
Anyone developing diabetes alongside everything else? I had developed hypoglycaemia quite badly and had this for several months, now just after my first chemo round I appear to be developing diabetes type 3 I believe it’s called- anyone else with this and any other info about chemo… this was my first one not great but doable, but I hear it builds and gets worse as it goes along?
I have three months at once every two weeks on a drip all day, sent home with a pump for two days, then 4 (I believe- this starts tomorrow) days of self-administered injections to manage white blood cell count
Hi squodgeling welcome to the forum..I cant help wondering if anyone other than a medical person can answer your query..With that in mind I'm.suggesting that you either copy and repost your post into the ask an expert section of this site and that will take you to Ask a Nurse..The other thing you can do is to give the Macmillan Line a call and have a chat with one of the Advisors there 08088080000. Hope that's useful and sorry it's not been of more practical use in response to your query..Best Wishes.Gailx
