Hi thanks for your reply , yeah I knew it was linked to t2 but t2 has been ruled out for me and think it’s a more rare type of diabetes as it basically stems from chemo and radiation I had whilst havin cancer treatment as a child . I did go through a time where I didn’t need any insulin but the...

Hi everyone, was recently at my endo appointment and asked them to talk me through my type of diabetes as I have secondary diabetes due to cancer treatment and hypothyroidism. I am insulin dependent and most of the times I require 20 units every time I eat just to keep my sugar levels below 10 ...

Heya thanks for your reply, it’s so tough to find any information on secondary diabetes. I was originally diagnosed 9 years ago (15 ) with type 2 diabetes but upon further testing they figured I’m definitely not type 2 but they also say they won’t rule out type one which is confusing. My...

Hi everyone, I was at my endo clinic a couple weeks ago and I’ve been going there almost 10 years . I was recently told I have secondary diabetes, is this closer to type one or 2 . I was also told I defo don’t have type 2 and that they don’t think I have type one but I’m struggling to find any...

Hi I’ve been going to the same endo for roughly 10 years and whilst I was originally told I was t2 in the last few years I was told I’m not t2 and actually have secondary diabetes. A little back story is basically caused from having radiotherapy and steroids during cancer treatment and also...

Hi @oldgreymare thank you for your response ☺️yeah I knew about it being less relevant with the age nowadays. I think my c pep was pmol/L and was considered high insulin production and along with that I tested negative for any antibodies for type one . I only spoke to a nurse yesterday about it...

Hi Lamont thanks for your reply ☺️ as I used to have frequent blood tests as a child for my thyroid levels I don’t think diabetes was ever a problem but then again I’m not sure if they would’ve checked for it but having been diagnosed with cancer it became more apparent with having full blood...

Hi Ellie thank you for your reply ☺️ I think the c peptide test must’ve been pmol/L so they said I produce so much insulin which is why they are concerned as to why it’s not working. They know I’m insulin resistant but they still say it doesn’t match what they’re seeing when I’m producing so...
