Pancreatic cancer and diabetes.
Whether having diabetes predisposes an individual to developing pancreatic cancer continues to be studied. At present, the greater challenge for diabetes educators is to help those individuals who have had surgical resection for pancreatic cancer and now have resultant IGT or frank diabetes to manage their condition to the best of their ability and make their quality of life the best it can be, given the circumstances.
