The increase in blood glucose levels may be associated with the paradoxically increase of histamine levels in the blood by omalizumab. If this increase cannot be balanced with insulin, patients may develop impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance. Therefore, we suggest that patients using omalizumab should be followed up for glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance.
