I have PV and Type 2 Diabetes. I have PV under control with hydroxyurea but have had more trouble with T2D. My PCP and Hematologist do not really communicate or coordinate about any interactions of drugs or anything else. I wonder what others experience?

Hi Judie, Have you ever had a hard time with keeping your glucose levels down? I can eat picture perfect and still sometimes my glucose levels are on the high side. Have you ever has a conversation with your Doctor about PV and Diabetes?
