Has Anyone Had Hyperglycemia As A Result Of Besremi?
A myMPNteam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I was prescribed Besremi by an MPN specialist and was to be monitored by local Hematologist/Oncologist. Had blood work after the second dose and glucose is up to 160 normal for me is/was 94. Not really sure what to do next since the local doctor has not said anything.

I had blood glucose checked again today as part of a routine physical but I have not gotten the numbers back yet. They did check A1C and it was normal.

I expect you already know that hyperglycemia is a possible side effect of Besremi. The local doc should have noted this and discussed it with you. Suggest you contact the MPN Specialist for advice as that doc will know more about monitoring patients on Besremi.

Interferons have many possible side effects. When is your next blood work? If it's not soon enough for your comfort level you could ask for an earlier blood draw. I'm not on Besremi but have had many labs done over the past 17 years. Sometimes my blood sugar will be high, say 100 to 150. The next reading the results will be in the normal range. Doctors have never been concerned about an occasional high blood sugar level. Maybe it will be the same for you and your next level will be in the normal range. I'm hoping that's the case for you. I understand it is disconcerting.
