chemo/diabetes

bdean

Hello!
Have any of you had trouble with diabetes after starting chemo? A friend just told me that she now has this problem too! I was wondering if it happens very often.
Thanks for any info.

Hi Brenda,
I have often heard of diabetes coming to the for front after surgeries. Trauma to the body has a habit of doing funny things. I think the people I have known probably had problems to start with but weren't addressed till an accident caused massive injuries and surgery. It is truly amazing what they are finding out about the bodies reaction to trauma and illness.
