Hi All,

I am taking the following :

EMPAGLIFLOZIN 10mg a day
GLUCOPHAGE SR 2000mg a day

Thankfully no side effects, but my GP has told me to take them all after my evening meal.

I was recently in hospital for an unrelated shoulder op and my blood glucose levels were fine in the morning (under 7), but unsurprisingly rose through the day, into double figures.

So my question is this, would I be better off splitting the dose, breakfast/lunchtime & evening, to even my bloods out?

Any advice/experience would be appreciated.

Jay.
