Hi Guys, Within the last 6-8 month, I have had additional medications to help bring my A1c down, the first one was Empagliflozin, after using it for about 3 months, I ended up getting right sided kidney discomfort and pain, so stopped using that. I was then tried on Pioglitazone, again roughly...

...sarcoidosis for which I take steroids, diagnosed in Sep 2016. Up until a couple of months ago I was taking gliclazide, metformin & empagliflozin but I stopped taking gliclazide & that was replaced with insulin. I do a finger prick every morning before I have breakfast. Before I changed from...

...my initial consultation. (It was at the ungodly hour of 7:45 am) On other fronts, there was some good news, after a month without my Empagliflozin, my HBA1C hadn't shifted and was still 40 mmolls/moll: Ah well, given my age and how old age has affected many of my peers, maybe Voltaire had...

...GP or pharmacist? Sounds like this is something you urgently need. Reducing your insulin sounds like it was a good idea. Jardiance (empagliflozin) is an SGLT2 med which encourages the body to excrete excess glucose in urine rather than re-absorbing it. Balancing multiple meds always seems...

...patients with these signs and symptoms. Half of the cases occurred during the first 2 months of treatment. Some cases occurred shortly after stopping the SGLT2 inhibitor...

yes no this is just the assesment . ill not go for the full thing until after HbA1c as you have to cone off the EmpAgliflozin and i want to see the HbA1c result first. i can still have other low carb drinks just not my water tab drink or coffee its only for a few days . i might not get the full...

...coffee when they all ate . Still Im not going to get a low HbA1c snd guess she will be telling me to take statins too. Have i hot it right Empagliflozin raises cholestral but them it helps the heart . I never understand all the different things one medication can treat but cause other problems .

The Nurse can't have a magic wand either and I am going to be okay. I think the scary thing is if you don't do the diet then you will not get the results. I am not keen on meds so any I try all have side effects. Apart from low mood and my sugars not as good as others. But I am not a skinny fit...

...flexibility of menu I enjoy. There are other options and alternatives if Jardiance isn’t suiting you. I think we have members taking Empagliflozin who have had a variety of outcomes - seems to vary from person to person. I think you are finding your answer then? Very low carb doesn’t suit...

I'm sorry your appointment wasn't as supportive as we'd all hoped. Hate when that happens! I feel similar to you in that low carb is not a way I can do for life either and think which other ways could I lose weight. Are there any other ways for you that's worked in the past? The state of mind...

My thoughts entirely it was a total waste of a phone call tbh. If you feel depressed it says contact. “ Jardiance (empagliflozin) is a medication prescribed for type 2 diabetes and to lower the risk of heart and blood vessel problems and death in adults1. It can cause side effects that range...

...blood glucose and then need take more and more meds. I know it does suggest that very low carb should be undertaken with caution if on empagliflozin but that is less than 50g carbs per day. But it also says to be used in conjunction with diet. The more glucose you are excreting the more...

Hi If you are in Jardiance Empagliflozin please be careful and look out for any red rashes. A rare side affect is Fourniers Gangrene around genitals and can be very serious. This os not well known by health practitioners.

I looked online and not to do with diabetes and empagliflozin but to do with it when it treats heart conditions. Its known to cause depression. So I have jumped my queue as i have suffered with this thinking it was me not being able to help myself. I just wonder as its locked for non...

...other hand, I can still remember how bad it got with uncontrolled blood sugars. However, i trust my Docs, so I have started to skip the empagliflozin. For the record: At diagnosis, a year past last April, my HBA1C was at 135 mmols/mol. At this time, although I had stopped taking sugar in my...

I was terrible at one point getting up several times a night now I just don't bother I just go! only kidding lol nappies are superb nowadays

What are your BG levels like? If they are still high then the empagliflozin will be making your kidney work harder and you will need to wee more frequently day and night. If your BG levels are now mostly in range then the Empagliflozin will have less effect and in that situation I would look for...

...my dog who has dementia so will probably ramble! Is it usual to have broken sleep due to needing several trips to the bathroom. I'm on empagliflozin which I know works by flushing sugars through my kidney ( I only have one) but I thought as my levels settles so would this. I'm seeing the...

If you're testing every day you can workout an average which will give you a basic but good idea what the figure will be in the results of your test. I went from 85 to 55 and my prediction based on average was correct.

I think l I'd faint if it went that low! There has been talk of changing / adding to my medication. I'm on empagliflozin ( had a reaction to metformin), they would like to increase but with the new knowledge of only having one kidney they need to switch to something that's not relying on my...
