Patient's question:
Doctor, my mother is 65 years old this year. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer half a month ago and is now understanding about the treatment. What I am most concerned about is whether pancreatic cancer can cause related symptoms, such as diabetes. Hello, will pancreatic cancer lead to diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Pancreatic cancer can lead to diabetes again, as the islet cells secrete insulin and glucagon. If the pancreas is inflamed, it can cause abnormal carbohydrate metabolism in the body, leading to hypoglycemia or diabetes again. Pancreatic cancer patients should not drink beer. Precise radiotherapy and chemotherapy methods can be determined to treat it, which may reduce the quality of life later. Avoid overwork and prevent excessive strain, and maintain a good lifestyle!
