There are too many variables to say if you get castrated or take Androcur you will get diabetes. If you are inactive and gain weight, which will give you a very high probability of getting diabetes!

Hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemia is a condition that occurs when the sugar levels in your blood are too low. Many people think of hypoglycemia as something that only occurs in people with diabetes. However, it can also occur in people who don’t have diabetes.

Hypoglycemia is different from hyperglycemia, which occurs when you have too much sugar in your bloodstream. Hypoglycemia can happen in people with diabetes if the body produces too much insulin. Insulin is a hormone that breaks down sugar so that you can use it for energy. You can also get hypoglycemia if you have diabetes and you take too much insulin.

If you don’t have diabetes, hypoglycemia can happen if your body can’t stabilize your blood sugar levels. It can also happen after meals if your body produces too much insulin. Hypoglycemia in people who don’t have diabetes is less common than hypoglycemia that occurs in people who have diabetes or related conditions.

Reactive hypoglycemia

Reactive hypoglycemia occurs within a few hours after a meal. An overproduction of insulin causes reactive hypoglycemia. Having reactive hypoglycemia may mean that you’re at risk for developing diabetes.

I think that when you are going to start using an anti-androgen like Androcur or it's generic equivalent, that keeping an eye on your liver function is a much more critical thing to monitor than blood glucose levels.

I was on the generic Androcur for almost a year before seeing Dr. A. There are some online places now to get labs done because you'll need a Doctor's order to get lab work done and these folks have physicians who will write those orders. You just give them some basic information about yourself, they write the script, you pay for it there online and they give you the locations of the nearest facilities to get the blood drawn.

I've always had a blood glucose level hovering around 100 to 105. The medico's keep changing the criteria for pre-diabetic so technically I'm there but experienced no changes there while on the med. You may want to look at getting some Tamoxifen because if you start taking enough of the Androcur to get to castrate T-levels which will be, at least for me at or near the max per day dosage, you're going to get some breast growth and trust me, those damn breast buds really hurt, but the Tamoxifen stopped that growth for me.

Just a few thoughts based on my experience.

double post.

I have not been tild anything, from my doctors,nevrolog or any other health personal about higer risk for diabetes. after castration.

So i take it for granted- It is for a good reason.

Yup i have a strong health. (beside adhd/epilepcy)

But generaly sound training-food regime-drink regulary and make surten not to eat to much suggery stuff.

And at the same time watch our vaight we shoud be golden.

If not i am 100% surten i will be imformed about the danger. they gave me a lot of other things to watch out for.

Its definitely on the list of possible side effects.

as a diabetic who is precastrated I can say that you can only get diabetes if your geneticly predisposed to it, castrated or not weight gain is one of the main triggers of diabetes, tooth decay is too, I'm sure there are others but I site those as my triggers for type 2 diabetes, and like I said, I'm precastrated.

Thanks for the info Freddyjack. i started Androcur today, after a medical this morning where i was given a good bill of health.

unfortunatly the only current indication of diabetes is professional recognition of prediabetes condition by testing

There are some good home A1C tests that will tell you if you need to visit your doctor or not. I was bothered by frequent urination and so I purchased a kit and realized I needed to visit my doctor. Thank you for posting about your diabetes since with family history, castrated or not, it was in my future.
