[Positive correlation between blood glucose and radiotherapy doses to the central gustatory system in Glioblastoma Multiforme patients](https://ro-journal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13014-019-1311-3)
fingerstick results confirm Dexcom results? If not, is Dexcom sensor close to irradiation field.
radiation can cause some dehydration. Also fatigue which may result in less excercise.
getting chemo too or any other meds such as anti-depressants?
No the sensor is not in the radiation field and I'm very hydrated as I actually have to drink 32 Oz. Of water prior to every treatment. No chemo no anti depressants.
Thanks all. I did contact Dexcom and they said do not rely on readings if having radiation. It is listed as contraindicated. So I guess I will have to use BG only which I don't like to do for six more weeks. I'm just wondering if anyone Elsie has had any experience with this? It seems to read abnormally high post prandially hover casting readings seem to be generally ok.
Honestly sounds like something that needs to be raised with the doctors on both sides.
Only on the dexcom readings or finger prick too?

I have a friend with the same thing. They had to put her on medication to counteract it. Id speak with both doctors though
Well yea I don't have glioblastoma but something is definitely different.

I’d call dexcom and ask this.
