No problem...just hope you don't need to consider it at all! It's brutal!

I think the diabetic stuff is due to the increased infection risk, as well as the instability of sugars during the nausea/vomiting part of the whole thing. I went days with very little intake, and I can see how that would be risky for a diabetic. Also, when the blood counts are hovering around zero, they really want to keep skin puncturing to a minimum due to bleeding and infection risk. I'm sure there are other "cellular" reasons why, too, about which I don't know.

Good luck!
