Hi, I'm new to this site although registered for the CLL site. I'm a 72 yr old male with a history of high blood glucose and on metformin 500mg x2. In May of 2020 I began treatment for CLL which included both infusion (obinutuzumab) and oral (venetoclax) meds. Just after starting the infusions which included dexamethasone &methylprednisolone my daily glucose jumped to the high 400's low 500's. My PCP put me on Tresiba (degludec) insulin. I was on that for ~8 months until i finished with the obinutuzumab infusions and came off the insulin with daily glucose readings in the 140's - 150's. Although I received 3 Pfizer vaccinations I came done with COVID and immediately received the REGEN-COV infusion, since my glucose levels had jumped to the 190's -200's. I'm scheduled to go off the venetoclax early Oct. I'm hoping after finishing up with the venetoclax (half-life 2 days) and getting clear of the obinutuzumab (half-life 30 days) and the REGEN-COV (half-life 30 days) my glucose levels will drop.
Anybody with similar experience?
