Oh dear, your surgery has gone thundering in with the medication when you are just into the diabetic range. Metformin is standard but empagliflozin is overkill (in my humble non medical opinion). My enlightened surgery gives everyone with an HbA1c under 60 a 3 month period to first try...

...me suspect I wouldn’t be lucky enough to get into regression. I’m now prescribed and taking one Metformin 500mg tablet per day and one Empagliflozin (that name trips off the tongue, doesn't it?) 10mg tablet per day. It's day 2 on my medication, and I’m hoping today goes smoother than...

I was diagnosed in 2009, I didn’t have DKA at diagnosis but have had it since as a side effect of empagliflozin. Used basal bolus insulin for a long time now.

Hi wantonnoodl, I am travelling to London by train next week, taking the empagiliflozin will that make things difficult for me needing the toilet? It will be about 2 hour journey.

Hi, well I’ve now been on it for 3 weeks and have to say fingers crossed I haven’t suffered with any side effects I already take 4 metformin and 24 units twice a day of Lantus (reduced this from 31 units twice a day when starting Jardiance). My BG has definitely dropped though so am pleased...

I am just starting on this and I am concerned about side affects, also told to up metformin to 3 x daily and that amount usually plays havoc with my bowel. I am wondering about starting myself with taking jardiance (Empagliflozin) initially every other day. Good to read other peoples experience.

...whilst on the jardiance or have you only started that since switching to insulin? Low carb is not recommended whilst taking jardiance (empagliflozin) because of the ketone and DKA risk, so it may be that the jardiance would have been ok for you with more carbs. Low carb can also make you...

...untoward beyond the known astigmatism. I'm expecting the results of a full blood work-up in a few days but, with a combination of Empagliflozin, diet, and exercise, I have brought my BMI down to 23.0 and my overnight fasting glucose down from 20.2mmol/L to 9.4 mmol/L, which is clearly still...

As many are aware my new soup shake diet does not start until Sept 5th. They stopped my Empagliflozin on the 21st of May. This means I have been on diet alone so my readings are my own and down to me and my diabetes type2. So now my daughter has gone I am trying to get my bloods down. On getting...

Thanks I'll look it up I'm not sure, 4 slow release Metformin were giving me hypos and stomach cramps 3 I'm not so bad on but still a bit nauseous and my BG is higher generally. But there now thinking the Metformin is blocking my thyroxine uptake. I'm nervous to try something new because I...

Can be but i did better on Empagliflozin it depends on what issues you have. Also what your provider is prepared to try.

Oh that’s good you have had no side effects, really hoping I’ll be that lucky too although I do suffer with UTIs every now and then so quite concerned. Willing to give it a try though and see if I can be lucky like you too

I've been on 10mg Empagliflozin since May 2023 and have had no issues whatsoever. No infections or other side effects. But I was warned by my GP that personal hygiene was the key to avoiding them, which I have been very careful about. Only thing to be aware of is making sure you drink plenty...

Hi, I have just been advised by my GP to add in Empagliflozin to help control my BS. I currently also take Metformin and Lantus. I have been advised to reduce my Lantus by 25%, should this be in one go or gradual? Also what are other people’s opinions on using Empagliflizon, I’ve heard yeast...

...and tried it this morning. A 50g portion was remarkably well tolerated (BG was 6.0 before and 6.9 2hrs after), but I am on Metformin and Empagliflozin. Much better than some of the other low sugar granolas/mueslis, which mostly imho taste like the sweepings from the floor of the local timberyard.

Yes, I was doing fine until they put me on the Empagliflozin. To be honest I should gave insisted I stay diet only but you go with your DN . However they increased that also which with raised HBA1c level up is totally wrong direction. The side effects for me were low mood and hunger which both...

...getting blood sugars down Never had Saxenda but when weight is increased your liver works differently . I am now told to come of Empagliflozin and have done so . My blood sugar readings are not changed. So what that was doing i have no idea. I will be going on a low cal diet. I shall...

...indicated insulin production. i have since then been labelled as "Likely Type 2". Tried coming off insulin and just having metformin, empagliflozin and gliclazide but this didn't control my glucose at all so back on insulin. I take 10 lantus, and 8-10 novorapid with evening meal( plus...

Thank you for the advice and information, its so appreciated, will start the Jardiance in the morning first thing. Thank you.

I've been on 10mg a day of Empagliflozin (Jardiance) for just over 12 months now and have had no problems. I find it has much less side effects than Metformin (which I'm also on), as it doesn't affect the stomach in the same way. I've managed to lose quite a bit of weight, and my HbA1c dropped...
