Many of our patients take inj insulin along with chemotherapy. there is no known interaction of chemotherapy drugs with inj insulin .but maintenance of blood sugar level while on chemotherapy treatment is important.I very well understand your worry and concern for your brother but you also need to understand thar Hodgkins lymphoma has a very good response to treatment and early stages can be cured in majority of cases
