Welcome @keppi. I moved your question about carcinoid and diabetes to this exising discussion:
- Anyone dealing with Carcinoid NETs with Diabetes https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/carcinoid-nets-with-diabetes/

I did this so that you can read previous posts and connect with members like @vinnie694 @tomrennie @dbamos1945 @californiazebra and others.

@keppi, did you have diabetes before the diagnosis of carcinoid tumor? What type of diabetes do you have?

I have had diabetes for about 30 years. Shortly after being diagnosed with diabetes, I began having heart problems. In 30 years I have had 27 stents, a quadruple bypass, and recently received a pacemaker. Then about 10-12 years ago, I was diagnosed with lymphoma and proud to say I have been in remission for 8 years. However, 4 years ago I was diagnosed with a carcinoid tumor and was told it was inoperable. I am receiving Sandostatin every 28 days, but I just feel there must be more that can be done.
