How Can Diabetes Be Managed While On Chemotherapy?
My husband has pancreatic cancer, he had the Whipple procedure in September, 2016. He started chemo Oct.31, 2016. he is now in remission and no longer taking chemo. He is eating very well, but, continues to lose weight. I have done everything I can to add calories to his diet. He is now diabetic bc of his pancreas being removed. We are having a hard time controlling his blood sugar levels. He is very insulin sensitive. Any comments on what else we can do?
