I am really sorry to hear that and it is not your fault completely, those drugs cause sugar to go up (ADT and prednisone).

Yes, exercise and diet would help but I am sure that for some people who go into treatment with glucose resistance already present those drugs easily tip the balance in wrong direction. If it is of any comfort, many new papers point to the fact that GLP drugs might help with cancer control or even enhance PC treatment effects.

Once that you are off those drugs I am sure that your diabetes will improve a lot and for now just try to do some extra exercise and watch your diet. You are half way though your treatment 👍 !

Wishing you all the best and thanks for warning other members to watch their glucose levels while on ADT .
