Glucagonoma

If you have a tumor that produces large quantities of glucagon, it will affect many aspects of your health. Glucagon balances the effects of insulin by regulating the amount of sugar in your blood. If you have too much glucagon, your cells don’t store sugar and instead sugar stays in your bloodstream.

Glucagonoma leads to diabetes-like symptoms and other painful and dangerous symptoms, including:

high blood sugar excessive thirst and hunger due to high blood sugar frequently waking up at night to urinate diarrhea a skin rash, or dermatitis, on the face, belly, buttocks, and feet that’s often crusty or filled with pus unintentional weight loss blood clots in the legs, which is also called deep vein thrombosis
