Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dougie22" data-source="post: 2444523" data-attributes="member: 34509">Hi, I’ve not been back to the forum for several years. In 2018 I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Prostate Cancer (spread to bones).Straight onto hormone treatment then full course of chemo got it under control in 2018. This year it started growing again but we caught that early and it’s even further under control now. Latest PSA level undetectable (1000+ at diagnosis), for those who know about these things. So, after ignoring my diabetes for a few years, I’m now taking it seriously again.My current cancer related medications are Prostap3 injections every three months (hormone treatment), Enzalutamide tablet daily (new to me and responsible for the PSA drop, another and different hormone treatment) and to prevent the recurrence of a DVT/ Pulmory Embolism (also 2018), daily tablet Edoxaban (again new to me after 3 years of Dalteparin injections daily).With no testosterone at all in my body at all, I get out of breath quite easily but I’m still mobile and leading a normal life.My daily fasting had grown to 14/15 and my Hba1c was far too high, so now that I’m taking it seriously again, I’ve just been put on Trulicity, keeping the Metformin and Gliclacide for now. It is working well, already dropping my morning readings to 8/9 level with the lowest so far being a 7.8. For me, it’s a pretty brutal medication. If you eat too much you throw up, simple! But the fact that it’s working means I will definitely stick with it.Without too much evidence, I’m convinced that my Prostap3, Enzalutamide or Dalteparin/ Edoxaban were partially responsible for my increase in BG readings over their various terms. Does anyone have any experience or information on this please? Thank you.</blockquote>
