The pancreas makes enzymes, proteins that help you break down your food into nutrients that can be used by the body. People with pancreatic cancer may not have enough of these enzymes, which causes problems with digesting fat. If you notice your stools are pale in colour, float or are difficult to flush, talk to your doctor or dietitian about taking pancreatic enzymes. These can help you better absorb fat from your diet which may help prevent weight loss and diarrhea.
People who have had type 2 diabetes for 5 years or more are at a higher risk of pancreatic cancer. If you have high blood sugars, eating balanced, small meals and snacks every 2 hours can help keep blood sugars stable. Be sure to include a source of protein such as skim milk powder, cheese, nuts or chicken or fish at each meal and snack.

You may have heard that avoiding sugar in your diet can help starve cancer cells. The truth is, the body will break down any food you eat, and some of your stored fat and muscle, to make sugar to fuel both your healthy cells and the cancer cells. This will happen no matter what you eat. Natural sugars found in milk, fruit and vegetables, whole grains and beans provide energy and nutrients your body needs for good health, so there is no need to limit these foods. Choose sweeteners such as honey and maple syrup in small amounts with meals to help keep blood sugar levels stable.
