Managing Diabetes & Cancer

About This Event
- Event Type:Peitz Cancer Support House
Details:
It is important to properly manage diabetes during cancer treatment. Cancer
and cancer treatment can bring about metabolic changes that cause or aggravate
symptoms of diabetes, and high blood sugar levels brought on by diabetes
can weaken the immune system, which needs to be strong to fight cancer.
Likewise, diabetes could potentially delay cancer treatment or increase
the risk of infection during treatment.
