Diabetes type2 and Prostate cancer treatment

I've been type 2 diabetic for 30 years.
If you want to monitor your blood sugars to check if diabetes could be an issue you can get a free Libre 2 monitor from Abbot and it works for 15 days and will send the readings to an app on your phone.
You dont need to scan it unless it loses signal
If it ends up not being diabetes then at least you can cross that one off the list

Hi,

I've had a similar problem since having RT and in my case it was an overactive bladder. I'm in the process of doing bladder training and it managed to significantly improve my sleep. I posted about this at Bladder re-training 

Hope this helps.

Hi Brizzy,

It's no fun having to get up so many times during the night, as it seems that no sooner have you laid down & started to settle that the need for another pee starts again.

Have you spoken to you GP or specialist nurse about this to see if there's anything they can give you in the meantime such as Tamsulosin (this relaxes the relevant muscles & so helps you empty the bladder more fully & easily)?  A tip I was given was not to drink anything after around 6 or 7pm.

Best Wishes

Brian 

Thanks Brian

Yes, I take Tamsulin which helps a little and I have a flow test, bladder scan followed with a visit to the urologist so hoping they can help in some way
