...will give. Thats my way of trying to put a perspective on the scare stories you see when it comes to medical matters. Its all about risk management and there are things we do every day without thinking that are far riskier than getting extreme effects from taking medications like Empagliflozin.

...They said not sure if Type 2 or type 1 on honeymoon period - time will tell. Anyway, to improve control further they recommended Empagliflozin. On doing some research I noted some horrific possible side effects e.g Fourniers Gangrene ( the pictures I can never I unsee…) Anyone out there with...

...yes just my side. Metformin was not good for me. The sickness was awful and loose bowel movements not welcome. i am now on Jardiance (Empagliflozin) with slow blood or weight loss. I have metabolic syndrome . I have joint replacements from having arthritis I get very discouraged with all...

I wouldn’t worry about that if you can. Empagliflozin is part of a fairly new class of drugs so it’s likely more of a “not enough evidence that it’s fine yet” than actually something that causes problems.

...mean they’d be dangerous. Often it’s simply because they’ve not been tested on pregnant women (understandably so). The mention of Empagliflozin I found online said it shouldn’t be taken in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. You’re well away from that so try not to worry. Remember many women drink...

I am not sure what specifically the problem with Empagliflozin might be. I know that it works by encouraging the kidneys to remove glucose at a lower level than normal and as a result it can cause thrush or urinary tract infections and it is important to drink plenty to prevent dehydration and...

...of being pregnant and being diabetic at the same time, it's never happened to me before so just a bit anxious. The meds I'm on are empagliflozin and I was told to stop immediately but I had been taking it before I knew I was pregnant so I'm scared it's done damage I don't know what but I'm...

...been achieved in the last 3 months Probably not going to be easy as now I’m not able to get Trulicity GP has upped my daily dose of empagliflozin Infact when I get it from the pharmacy (they hadn’t recieved the prescription yesterday) It’s now going to combined in the same tablet as...

So sorry to hear you lost your wife but good that you are using that loss and your children to help motivate yourself with your diabetes. That is quite a combination of medications? Can I ask how much Novomix you take? Have you been on insulin a while or has it just been introduced recently...

It was a routine blood test after I changed doctors. I control it with medication metformin,novomix insulin and empagliflozin. My latest hba1c was in the mid 70s which I know is high, it is to see where I can improve and just get advice/support there are times when I get worried, I need to get...

Thanks for the welcome everyone. The shock of diagnosis has worn off now, I'm into my second week of Metformin and my first couple of days of the empagliflozin. The side effects are.... 'interesting'... I didn't know wind could smell so eggy without actually consuming eggs... :eek:

...Was first diagnosed with Type 2 in 2018 through my GP, managed by the Practice Nurse and started on Merformin and Gliclazide, then Empagliflozin and Ozempic after a couple of years. My HbA1C varied quite a lot, never perfect, but never awful. Tried a fasting diet at the beginning of 2023...

...going through the change, as I'm that age. Hence the blood tests. My current numbers are 94mmol/10.8%. I've been given metformin and empagliflozin, and I'm staggering my intake going up to the dose prescribed. I've started a Diabetes Diary, making sure I take my meds, monitoring for any side...

Thank you for I will try that

Welcome @Alisonbareham :) Sorry to hear your insulin is causing you problems. Which insulin is it? You might be best starting a new thread for your question on the General Messageboard so that you can put the key words Empagliflozin and Ramipril in the title to catch the attention of users:)

...as I have developed a rash and itching where I inject I now am taking metformin and reduced my insulin, the next step is going onto empagliflozin which I am quite nervous about taking it, that is one of the reasons I joined today to find out if anyone else is taking this medication and what...

The OP does not need to lose weight.

...with capital letters are now unobtainable (for the foreseeable future) so your doctor/specialist ought to be considering something like empagliflozin (but only the 10 mg strength, because of your kidney problems) or maybe the imminently-available Mounjaro = tirzepatide. This latter...
