Have Diabetes II and keep hearing and reading that Breast Cancer can be caused by Insulin and reoccur from insulin feeding the cancer and making it harder to get rid of. I have had a lumpectomy and radiation and am starting to heal. Besides not eating carbs and sugars are the medicines mentioned also putting me at risk for a reoccurance.

Marnie Spencer on May, 11, 2012:

I am 76years of age. I have Type2 diabetes for the past 6 years.. My blood sugars are twix 6.00 and 7.00.Presently 6.5. I take 20mg of Glimepiride each day. I suffer from nausea,sickness, vomiting, bloating, acute indigestion and stomach pain daily. If I don't take the Glimepiride I do not have these stomach problems. My Doctor insists that I persevere but she is not the one feeling/being sick until noon each day. I just want to know what would happen if I did not take the medication . Will it shorten my life substantially ? Isn't it better to have a shorter, happier life free from all this illness than maybe to live a little longer in misery each day. My Doctor is not able to answer this question of course, her job is to prescribe ,Can anyone else help ?
