I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma 2 years ago..I am receiving Rituxan..I was diagnosed as NED...my most recent blood work was excellent..I just received more results and the glucose level was 102...My question is 1. Should I be alarmed and 2. Can this be a result of the chemo treatments? Thank You
Hello. Good day. Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor.1. You need not be alarmed with a value of 102. It would always be better to do a proper fasting and a 2hr post meal venous sample assessment for glucose. 2. Rituxan will not cause diabetes. It's not a result of chemo treatment unless you have been put on steroids. Wishing you good health. Please hit thanks and rate this answer if you have found it helpful. Warm regards, Chat Doctor.
