[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2349799, member: 401801"] This is going to sound stupid probably, but I don't quite grasp how T2 develops from having had cancer? It's genetic for the most part, unless brought on by steroids, statins or other medication. (The cancer itself could be relatively innocent in this case, the treatment of it, however?) Unless you had pancreatic cancer, then it'd be type 3, not two... And that might require a different treatment, depending on how much insulin you still make. Just putting it out there, in case your treatment depends on it, it's stuff to ask the nurse about? Maybe, if there's a question of insulin production versus insulin sensitivity, you might want to ask for a C-peptide test to make sure they're not barking up the wrong tree.
