Can chemotherapy or the medications used to treat chemotherapy-induced nausea cause a sudden spike in blood sugar levels up to 340 in a diabetic patient who is taking Gemer Forte 1 and strictly following their diet?
Yes, this is actually a very common reaction. While chemotherapy itself causes physical stress that raises blood sugar, the supportive medications given to prevent nausea?specifically corticosteroids?are well-known for causing temporary, sharp increases in glucose levels. Please rest assured that this is a manageable side effect. I gently encourage you to contact your oncology team or diabetologist soon so they can temporarily adjust your diabetes treatment to keep your levels safe and comfortable during your therapy.
