Since my RP in November of 2023, I have had 4 PSA tests which were < 0.01. Since my Gleason came back 9 after my pathology report, I continue to be concerned about recurrence(so far so good🤞🙏). I just had my yearly physical and my glucose came back slightly elevated. I’m an extremist so I have made some dramatic changes to my diet, since glucose is a feeder of cancer. I have cut WAY back on starches and sugars. One thing it has accomplished is I have lost about 6 pounds, even though I don’t need to lose any. My urologist told me the number one thing to cut out is red meat. No problem for me as I haven’t had any in 20years. I have loaded up on fresh fruit and veggies as well. I have an upcoming PSA test in a few weeks and I am going to ask my doctor to include a glucose test so I can see if my changes are making a difference. I’ll report on my results at that time. Best of luck to you.

Good for you, kjacko, you don’t need the extra processed sugar to cause more problems.
But just be aware that fruit sugars can elevate your glucose as well. An apple I had at 8 PM showed up in a 7AM blood test!
Glucose is ubiquitous and sadly, cancer cells can MAKE their own if necessary.
Your lifestyle changes are great but don’t fret and wear yourself out over glucose. You probably have enough stress in your life already!
