Now Diabetes, after chemo radiation arimidex?? need advice!!

Tracy-I am wondering when you had the blood test for diabetes.  I finished chemo in February of 2012, then started arimidex right after.  Next was radiation, and that was over in mid-April.  Anyway, all during my chemo treatments whenever they did all the blood work, my numbers for blood sugar were high, but the chemo nurses said the steroids and other meds I was taking caused them to be high.  Anyway, after all the treatments were over in mid-April (except for Arimidex, which goes on for 5 years), I went back to my primary care physician to have just a yearly checkup.  I take blood pressure and thyroid medicine, and he sees me at least yearly to monitor that.  My appointment got changed a couple of time, and I think it was up in July when I saw him and got my yearly blood work done.  He said that I was to come back to see him in 6 weeks because my sugar was up.  I can't remember the number, but he said it was within the range for diabetes.  I wound up waiting about a little longer than 6 weeks due to scheduling problems and by the time I had the bloodwork redone, my number was way down to normal again.  It wasn't even pre-diabetic.  He was so surprised.  Anyway, I am just thinking that if you had the test done within a few months of chemo, then you may not really be diabetic.  I would make sure your doctor is aware of your cancer treatment, and ask him to repeat the test in a few months to see if it changes before you worry too much about it.  I like my doctor a lot, but he had no idea that chemo could mess with your sugar levels.  Good luck!
