If a recent diagnosis of type 2 diabetes is caused by pancreatic cancer.Would metformin and diet change have any effect on improving blood glucose levels?
I would think so, metformin blocks the liver in releasing glucose. And a change in diet, whatever kind it is, is used to control BG's/
But if the pancreas isn't making insulin anymore, those will help some, not a lot, and will not be the answer. If you aren't making insulin, you will need insulin.
edited!!! Sorry, I originally said the liver releasing insulin, I meant the liver releasing glucose!!!!

You may like to consider editing your comment. I am sure it is just a slip but insulin is secreted by the pancreas as per your first sentence I think it should read 'glucose'.
