    Impact of Rituximab on Blood Glucose

    Does anyone have experience of this? I am on a quick (4 doses at one week intervals) course of R for a just diagnosed chronic leukemia ("Hairy Cell"), which is fortunately well understood with a successful and routine treatment regime which puts it into long term remission nearly all the time...
