Have been diagnosed with cancer of the Oesophagus and am due to start chemotheraphy soon. Oncologist tells me this will play havoc with my blood sugars and wondered if anyone has experince of this, and any advice on the best way to deal with it.

Sorry, no experience but all the best for it. All I can suggest is that you record your BGLs throughout each round of chemo, and hopefully after the first few rounds you will have an idea of what to expect in later rounds.
