Answers: No. There is no correlation between having diabetes and pancreatic cancer.

Diabetes means there is something wrong with the functionality of the pancreas.... and diabetes is one of the major risk factors FOR pancreatic cancer. That information I got from one of the foremost experts on this form of cancer.

Could it caused by it, and diabetes an early symptom of the disease? Possibly, but more research has to be done.

Yes diabetes can be caused by pancreatic cancer, insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas, called beta cells- theoretically, if one had their pancreas removed entirely, they would have instant diabetes.

Not by the cancer directly but if you have your pancreas removed you will become diabetic. If you have at least a little of your pancreas left you will be fine, though there is a slight chance of becoming insulin resiliant.
