Radiation therapy can have several effects on diabetics, including potential changes in blood sugar levels. The stress of treatment and the impact on surrounding tissues can lead to fluctuations in glucose metabolism, making blood sugar control more challenging. Additionally, radiation can cause damage to pancreatic tissue, potentially worsening insulin production in those with pre-existing Diabetes. Close monitoring of blood glucose levels is essential for diabetics undergoing radiation therapy to manage these risks effectively.
