Q:

What should I ask my doctor at my diabetes visits?

A:

When you see your doctor for appointments to look at your diabetes, there are two important questions that you can ask him/her. The first is to ask how you are doing with your diabetes care, and what you could be doing to help prevent common health issues that can be caused from having diabetes. The other is to ask if any necessary tests are up to date and whether your medications need to be adjusted. You can be an active partner in helping manage your diabetes, alongside your physician.

Q:

How is non-melanoma skin cancer treated?

A:

Non-melanoma skin cancer is typically treated with surgery to remove to cancerous cells. The size and location of the cancer will determine if a standard surgery involving cutting out the tumour and stitching the skin is appropriate, or if a different approach is needed. For smaller or more superficial cancers, radiation may be used, or even medications to try and treat the cancer. Your doctor and/or dermatologist will be able to help guide the decision on which treatment approach is best for you.
