How Can Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Be Treated?

I have Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, since starting Gleevec in July of 2016, my blood tests have all been normal. In December my oncologist advised me to watch my glucose number is was getting low December it was 65, January it was 76 and yesterday it was 47. My regular Dr. sent me for a series of blood work. How/why did it drop so low

Hi,

It may not be related leukemia. You can increase the carbohydrate intake to balance the glucose status.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
