I'm on 9u Semglee (glargine), 2g Metformin & 25mg Empagliflozin. Last HbA1c in March was 38.

...Within a couple of days of this the UHCW Diabetes & Endocrinology Dept called me and asked me to increase to 2000mg and add in the Empagliflozin. The hospital had done the blood test as part of a weight management review. I was feeling pretty nauseous with the sudden increase of meds at the...

Hi @gavint2, and welcome to the forum :) Sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis - we're all here to support as best we can. Thanks for sharing some details about how you're managing - how did you find the DESMOND course? Also glad to know you have someone on the forum you know already. The...

...Recently diagnosed T2 with HbA1c of 93. Attended a DESMOND course recently. I'm currently being treated with 2000mg Metformin and 25mg Empagliflozin. Looking to improve my understanding and get a handle on things. Weight is a big issue for me as I'm at about 188kg at the moment which is...

Yes, you should test if you think you are having lows. Being tired could also be a sign of high blood sugar. Did your GP add another drug to help bring levels down? The NICE guidelines say it can cause lows when used with insulin and sulfonylureas: https://bnf.nice.org.uk/drugs/empagliflozin/

...I was originally on just Metformin but went on to basal/bolus following Covid. Once that was stable I was put back on Metformin & added Empagliflozin in addition to insulin. The effect of the oral meds meant I could gradually reduce both types of insulin to the point where I stopped the...

...to hospital with high bg and urinary ketones twice. Am very prone to urine ketones but not had a serious DKA Mild ketoacidosis with empagliflozin One grandparent had T1 diagnosed in his 20s (but he died in the 60s so not sure how much was known about type then), two grandparent diagnosed T2...

It will help people answer any questions you have if you give a little bit more information about your diagnosis. Your HbA1C for example and if you have weight to lose. The medication you have been prescribed encourages your kidneys to excrete excess glucose via urine so it is important to drink...

Dear All. I was diagnosed with diabetes two weeks ago. Not told much in the Doctor's Surgery. Given a testing kit and a prescription for Empagliflozin tablets. Difficult learning period. Is it possible to sit down and speak to someone about the various queries that I have please? Regards Tom.

So my latest HbA1 is 62 It was 110 on diagnosis in May 2022 I'm 26 and my GP says it's a good improvement but I am on Metformin and Empagliflozin. The truth is I initially got it down to 75 without actually taking my prescribed meds. In the last 3 months as well I have missed out an entire month...

I have to say, I rarely have a problem eating out, just find it limited. I ask for chips to be replaced by salads, or just leave things like bread aside (Or the wife and kids eat them.) The only place I wouldn't bother with are chains like Zizzi, but I don't like them. It was easier overseas in...

...thing as diabetes depression. It’s not surprising with he restrictions on diet and having to test. I don’t inject, low carb diet and 1 Empagliflozin tablet. I’m a really good cook, love to cook and now why bother ‍♀️ No restaurants cater for low carb T2’s and nigh on impossible to eat how you...

The other replies have explained what your numbers and medications mean. It sounds like your GP surgery is doing all the right tests, although perhaps not with the explanations you needed. You might like to put together a list of questions to ask your diabetic nurse when you see them. So easy...

...the last 3 months. So if we can reduce those on a day to day basis, gradually we should be able to reduce that initial high result. Empagliflozin encourages the body to excrete excess glucose via the bladder in urine - hence it's very important to drink plenty of fluids ( and water is best)...

...The metformin helps your body use the insulin it produces more effectively and reduces the amount of glucose the liver releases and the empagliflozin encourages the kidneys to excrete glucose via urine so it is important to drink plenty or you could become dehydrated and more prone to UTIs...

Wow, thank you for the information. So I’m on two lots of Metformin twice a day and 25mg empagliflozin once a day. My eyesight was already getting worse and I’m losing some peripheral vision. I’ve been for a recent blood test and my last one was 102 if that means anything as I was told a nominal...

OK. You are on the maximum dose of Trulicity, and 3/4 maximum dose of Metformin. Empagliflozin (which is from the same family as Canagliflozin that I take) reduces blood glucose through your urine. You have to drink a lot, so of course pee a lot!! I basically had to double my water intake...

...alogliptin but I do not think that this would be very beneficial in combination with Trulicity and I would recommend starting Sarah on empagliflozin 25 mg daily. I be most grateful if you could provide her with a prescription. From a lipid point of view her latest lipid profile shows a total...
