I can't remember all the details now, but I do remember my mother being upset that they weren't doing more for his diabetes once it got bad. I remember that they stopped letting him have his daily Pepsi, which he loved, but his blood sugar stayed very high until the end. The doctors pretty much said, "We need to focus on the cancer right now." Looking back on it, they just sped up the process.
My grandfather had never been sick a day in his life until he got cancer. His younger brothers both ended up with cancer, too. One is still alive and also a diabetic, but his blood sugar is well controlled. It seems to have affected them all so differently.
