Can you get on an insulin pump and Continuous Glucose Monitor? Have you tried a low carb diet and regular exercise (however mild) at the same time each day, and a regular eating schedule? Most of all, does your oncologist talk to your endocrinologist? It seems doctors never do that but it would be helpful. They each probably don't know much about the other's specialty! So sorry you are dealing with this.

That's one of the problems. The doctors are not talking to each other. Go to one and they do something, numbers go out of control, go to the other he does something numbers go out of control and they are not listening. Starting to look for a suite of doctors who will work together and communicate. It's been frustrating.

That’s apart of the issue doctors reacting to their individual numbers and not effectively coordinating. Recently got the PCP back involved.
