Figure 1. The triphasic glycemic pattern following chemotherapy which contained IV Dexamethasone (arrow). (A) Four days CGM showed a steady state of hyperglycemia reached within 3 h and lasting around 23-35 h, with no association to meal intake, followed by a transient BG improvement for 14–21 h, and ending with another hyperglycemic plateau of 7–13 h on day 3 after chemotherapy. (B) Average glucose tracing of CGM from 23 cycles showed the average glucose tracing and standard deviation. (* Normal/low glucose between 2 hyperglycemia phases; ** hyperglycemia plateau shape similar to the baseline.)
