@naiviv , a couple of times now over many years I've had doctors warn me of horrible conditions I might have on very slim evidence. I suppose it's their job but sometimes they forget the effect that has on patients!

The first time I just stared the guy down, we repeated a standard test, and he said, "oh, never mind". The second time I told the doctor he had scared me silly, and he said "oh, I didn't mean to do that, it might be nothing", and since then no other doctors have mentioned it, and of course I'm still here. About an equal number of times I've had the doctors ignore serious symptoms ... no, that's probably happened more often, actually, but I guess they're right because ten years later I'm still here and the symptoms mostly vanished, too.

In about eight years of my wrestling with blood glucose and diabetes nobody has ever suggested any tests regarding pancreatic cancer. Since my case did start with a super-high A1C I did see an endocrinologist, he never mentioned any such thing. But my case settled down to pre-pre-diabetic numbers, my insurance was cutting what the endocrinologist could even talk to me about, so I switched back down to letting my PCP prescribe my metformin, which is about all I've done - other than learn to count carbs (!) and live within those numbers, and walk a mile or two, two or three times a day.

It's been a year since this thread began, how are you doing? How are your BG and A1C numbers doing? How are your diet and exercise doing? I hope you're doing well on all.
