Since my diagnosis in Nov 22 I have been on Imatiniv 200 two times a day. Recently my HBA1c level has increased to 7.5. Since then I am working hard on my fitness and trying to reduce my weight by walking. Finding hard to reduce weight. Is it normal for CML patients? I am bothered about thanking another medicine. Please help!

Suvankardas,
I don’t know if losing weight is harder for us CML folk but I can tell you in general losing weight is not easy. Or should I say, losing weight is easy, keeping it off is difficult. I have tried it all, fad diets, intermittent fasting, fasting…. Right now I am reducing my food intake to only 8 hours per day from 9 to 5. This seems to have a lot of promise in my experience as it slowly reduces your weight and keeps it off. I have incentive though, my numbers are creeping up and I believe my weight has something to do with it as I seem to have gained a kilo in the last year that I can’t keep off. Been on this 8 hour thing for two weeks and it appears to work. If I can keep it up like this for a year I think it may stick and my weight will be in much better place.
Keep trying to lose the weight you want eventually you will make progress. Maintaining a healthy weight is like learning a musical instrument. Just keep trying, you will get better at it.
