Ibrutinib and A1c drop

[country76]

My A1c has dropped to normal since I have been on Ibrutinib. I was wondering if Cll raises Blood Sugar or the Ibrutinib lowers it.

Anyone have this experience. I found two cases on the internet.

Very interesting. I am curious to find out. I am due for another A1c test.

A1C before Ibrutinib 7.5, then 6.1 now 5.6

It’s signicantly reduced mine with type 2 and I’m hopeful of a much reduced Hba1c result.

However I’m also on Venetoclax but the glucose reduced as my lymphadenopathy was tamed and I suspect (but have no proof), that the treatment has shrunk my liver etc allowing more effective insulin uptake.

Best wishes,

Hi!

Interesting.

Are you eating less? More veg?
