So, I think I am actually experiencing one of the side effects of the chemo I’ve been given. It’s not something I would normally have noticed, but since I have a continuous glucose monitor I did. According to WebMD.com one of the common side-effects of Gemzar (one of the two chemo agents I’m being given) is high blood sugar!
This is yesterday and today. This week was Gemzar (only) and I had a coffee (labeled BPC).
This was last week, when I didn’t have any coffee (BPC). I had the Gemzar chemo and Carboplatin, and also dexamethasone (a steroid, which did raise my glucose).
How frustrating when you are trying to remain in ketosis!
It is! At least I was able to remove the pre-meds. Still, nothing I can do about the effect of the Gemzar.
