Hi @Liwyenolo , and welcome to the forum!
Melanoma coming back as brain tumours sounds like very unwelcome visitors in any way, glad to hear the immunotherapy is doing it's job. Not so glad to hear about the side effects you have to deal with though

On the 'as much knowledge as possible in a very short space of time', I'd start here: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/basic-information-for-newly-diagnosed-diabetics.17088/, and here: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/

As for the loads of questions, best to start a new thread (for instance in the 'Ask a Question' section of the forum) and choose a title reflecting the key parts of your question.
As you already know, steroids are nasty on the diabetes part, which complicates things. We have some other members with either steroid induced diabetes or long time users of steroids. They'll likely pop up if you include 'steroid induced' in the title of your thread

Wish you all the best!
