Ken:

I think you nailed it. This is very good news.

Ken:
Did you check before or after meals? Please give exact numbers? Did you check at bedtime?

Thanks for doing this. This info will really help us figure out what happens to blood sugar during treatment and what can be done about it.

Splitdog:
No. Most of the food we eat turns into sugar. But if you eat lots of sugar then you’ll increase the fat and fat cells are insensitive to insulin.

It’s a big can of worms. You won’t be able to take meds that increase blood sugar and there are many that do. Plus having high blood sugar predisposes you to getting infections.

And nobody will like me again because I’ll tell them not to eat chocolate and ice cream hmy:

The study says the ION-3 clinical trial showed that in those who received ledipasvir/sofosbuvir for 12 weeks, the hyperglycemia rates were…..
grade 1: serum glucose > up to 160 mg/dL……33.3%
grade 2: >160-250 mg/dL….11.6%
grade 3: >250-500 mg/dL …..2.3%
grade 4: >500 mg/dL
Those who received the medication for 8 weeks had hyperglycemia at the following rates: 21.4% (grade 1), 7.9% (grade 2), and 1.4% (grade 3).
All patients with Grade 3 or 4 increased serum glucose had either a medical history of diabetes or glucose intolerance (HbA1c > 6.0%) at screening

That’s worse than interferon.
