...to keep me on current meds but has decided to prescribe injectable medication into the mix. i forgot to ask the name of medication. I am currently on Empagliflozin 25mg once a day alongside Alogliptin 12.5mg/Metformin 1g tablets twice a day. Anyone got any idea of what the new med might be?

I think you might be underestimating just how many carbs you are having as the carbs in what you had in just a few hours would be pretty close to what many would have in a day. The suggested amount is no more than 130g per day.

...came a point when I noticed a rise in sugar levels and spoke with GP about my concerns. She took a blood sample and then added in Empagliflozin. I've been taking both these meds for about a year now. I am now just noticing these changes in sugar levels again. I do keep a close eye on what...

Make sure you are drinking plenty as the Empagliflozin works by flushing excess glucose from your system so important to make sure you stay well hydrated. There are many things which can increase your blood glucose, infection, stress, what you have eaten, but 32 is very high and you should check...

Can someone please advise me of what I should do if my Glucose is too high. I'm type 2 and take metformin and Empagliflozin. when I check my blood it is very rarely under 10. Today it was 32 and I got such a fright. i didn't feel unwell at all but I dont really know if I should have taken...

Was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 2 years ago and managed , but in Feb this year my blood sugar shot up to 60 and was put onto Empagliflozin. However, I had to stop this after 3 weeks as it affected my renal function, I already have Stage 3 renal damage and have low renal function so not ideal...

Do you take a diuretic instead? Sounds like peeing more liquids out was the action that helped you.

...1 diabetes on my 21st birthday. What a gift that was! In December 2021, I was diagnosed with Heart Failure and was wrongly prescribed Empagliflozin for 6 weeks. Boy, did I feel so well while taking this medication. Less breathlessness, no swelling of legs and ankles, less fluid around my...

...Not sure if this section is the best place to speak about this on here. Within the last 3 months I have been prescribed Jardiance/Empagliflozin, as I was told my the diabetic nurse that they wanted to bring my BG levels down quicker, at last check they had dropped to 66 from 95, was also...

...Doc about reducing my diabetic meds, she kinda wrinkled her nose and shook her head. While I would welcome a reduction in Metformin or Empagliflozin, I can still remember how bad my symptoms were prior to starting treatment. As a result, I personally am quite content to go along with my...

Funnily enough, because they were waiting on deliveries, I had to go back to my pharmacist twice to get my Metformin and Empagliflozin.

Brand new to the forum and urgently seeking advice! Been told my local pharmacy there’s a shortage on Empagliflozin 12.5mg/Metformin 1g tablets. I put my request 3 weeks early, when I went to chase them up they told me there was a shortage???? Anyone else having this problem???? Any help would...

Looking at your details you made amazing progress in the first three months so something was obviously working for you so I wonder what changed that things slowed down, though you have managed to get down to a not bad level but when oral medications are not working it may be worth considering...

...which was better but not brilliant. It didn't do enough to lower the glucose to be worth feeling so bad though Dapagliflozin and empagliflozin made my face and tongue swell up which was rather worrying! Tried Ozempic which gave me such awful stomach pain that I had to stop using it. I am...

I try to have a decent varied diet and dont count calories or follow a low carb diet, but I just try to be sensible. If I'm honest I could do better, being single and working in a very busy environment I don't make as fresh as I should. (Lazy I know) I suppose I need to ask myself should I try...

What kind of diet do you have? Empagliflozin isn’t recommended if you follow a low carb diet. Also make sure you know the signs of DKA, as it’s a possible side effect (albeit rare it’s not unheard of, I had it within a few days of starting and have heard of others).

...a terrible spell of sciatica my Dr ran a full set of blood recently and results have come back without any major concerns. Cholesterol and kidneys all good. Bloods came back at 9. After 10 years of Metformin Dr now wants me to add empagliflozin. Does anyone have any comments? Thanks in advance.

...to the DSN today and they don’t seem concerned by these spikes? Are they harmless? I was told If I was using a finger prick before each meal then I would not see them …..It is early days so will see how it goes but they did suggest they could introduce Empagliflozin so not run out options yet.

...mid 40s. I firstly titrated insulin upwards until levels were stable, then Metformin was re-introduced, also titrating up to 2g. Then Empagliflozin was added. This allowed insulin to be titrated down again. Both basal & bolus were decreased by 10% each time levels were consistently below 6...

Another interesting post. There are certainly a range of approaches and not always the expected one .
