I can confirm that along with many significant, abysmal side affects from Lupron (18 mos), the real bonus was elevating from Type II to being full-on Diabetic. Killed anything moderately physical/exercise program. No extra charge.... rlm

@madpuppy74 That totally sucks, and hopefully you will revert back to Type 2 post ADT and then be able to work on that as well.
But there IS a bright side to all of this. Many diabetes drugs - such as Metformin - are used in non conventional medicine for treating prostate cancer (not recommending anyone do that!) and there have even been hearty discussions here on the forum about it.
Of course, you actually do have elevated blood glucose levels to deal with and your RX is not simply adjunctive; but who knows what metabolic pathways both diabetes and PCa actually share? You may come out of this even better than you’re seeing it right now. Hang in there,
