Have a look at this. Might be useful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empagliflozin

Jardiance, or Empagliflozin, is one of the "flozin" drugs prescribed for Type 2 diabetes. They work by excreting excess glucose through urine. It is necessary to drink lots, and of course that does mean you pee a lot!! I was on Canagliflozin initially then changed to Dapagliflozin. Neither...

Welcome @Lakelad ! Probably worth a read of the possible side-effects of empagliflozin as described on the NHS website. Other than that, hope that the medicine does what it's supposed to do! I've been on it for several months without noticeable problems, but I take so many other medicines that...

Yes, I'm on Mounjaro - but also on empagliflozin and both long-acting and short-acting insulin, so my experience is some way away from yours. I did find that 2.5mg of Mounjaro had no effect, 5mg had some effect, and 7.5mg shut down my appetite totally, so I'm back on 5mg. Of course "your...

Interestingly the original DiRECT study had an improvement in HbA1c of 0.9 in the intervention group (7.7 down to 6.8) which was poorer than all three of these interventions. With 5:2 (1.9) and Metformin (1.7) about twice as good as Taylor's crash diet.

Administration of Metformin or Empagliflozin Patients took metformin (Shanghai Bristol-Myers Squibb), 0.5 g, twice a day. If the initial drug dosage was well tolerated, it was escalated to 2 g per day. Empagliflozin (Shanghai Boehringer Ingelheim), 10 mg, was administered once a day. During the...

...As soon as I found out I got in touch with the GP and the diabetes midwife team at my hospital who took me off gliclazide and empagliflozin and put me on insulin, metformin, folic acid, and gave me a libre sensor. It has been an absolute whirlwind getting my sugars under control and in 6...

...randomized clinical trial of 405 adults, the 5:2 MR approach achieved better glycemic control at 16 weeks compared with metformin and empagliflozin. An intermittent fasting plan consisting of 2 nonconsecutive fasting days and 5 days of habitual intake per week and meal replacement diet (5:2...

How's the diet going Bessie? I started it on the 6th, lost 4.2kg up to now. They took me off Jardiance (empagliflozin) and one of my BP medications Bendroflumethiazide the day the diet started, still taking metformin twice a day. My Dr has now told me to stop my other BP medication (Perindopril)...

...zero (such that I can eat nothing all day and hence don't inject any fast-acting insulin that day). The difficulty is that I am also on empagliflozin (among others), so I really don't know which medication is causing which side effects! [It's fun, isn't it...!] PS one of the diabetes nurses...

Apparently there is a risk of Euglycemic ketoacidosis. https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/empagliflozin/side-effects-of-empagliflozin/

...Before testing, I'd tried, struggled with, and failed, to bring down my numbers using purely a strict low carb diet alone, ending up with me taking metformin and empagliflozin. There's no shame in struggling to get your numbers down using diet alone, but testing is not something to be...

Thanks Lucy. I appreciate your time in the information.

Sorry forgot to say who gave me that advice, it was the pharmacist when I had ketones one week into starting empagliflozin

...me. If the ketones are ++, +++ etc then you need to drink plenty and seek medical attention. This happened to me just after I started empagliflozin, I can’t give medical advice but I can repeat what she said to me which was if you feel ok stop taking the flozins and speak to GP ASAP, if you...

...I prefer them to the Metformin that I'm still on as well; asked if could reduce Metformin given much bigger reduction of HbA1c on Empagliflozin, but told numbers need to come down further. Given I was given the choice of Trulicity or Empagliflozin in May last year, I'm glad that I picked the...

...regard to why I have suddenly been sent the Awful Warning mentioned in my first post, it appears that this is scheduled to happen every year. (I have been on empagliflozin for five months.) The Community Pharmacist who rang me back says that if I had got the symptoms of DKA I would know...
