Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jennet" data-source="post: 2418756" data-attributes="member: 545692">So it's a double whammy for me. Blood tests pre-chemotherapy showed a blood glucose of 24.5. I have never had a problem with high blood sugar and all my previous Hba1c tests have been well within the normal range (I have frequent FBCs because I'm hypothyroid).The DNS says this could be a reaction to the stress of the cancer. Does anyone else have experience of this? I am now taking 80mcg gliclazide - glucose monitoring 4 times a day and fasting is between 12 and 14 so what am I doing wrong?I pretty much follow a Mediterranean diet generally anyway, and have further reduced carbs and sugar in the last few days. But it is all making me feel terribly despondent, and as if my body is running out of control. I am overweight and I need to take more exercise for sure, so I've been getting out for brisk walks.Very grateful for anyone with any experience who can help me make sense of what's going on.</blockquote>
