Hello,
I'm a relapsed diabetec 2 person. Put onto dapagliflozin (dapa) and my blood glucose is gradually going down day by day. Was up to 30 when first diagnosed and am amazed you were at 54! Tried other meds and now am on dapa as they call it at my doctor's durgery. Also your weight loss is wonderful - well done. With all this success were there any side effects that bothered you? I do get hungrey ...

Can't help with the side effects, never taken dapagliflozin, but think you are confusing Becky's HbA1c of 54 with your fingerprick tests of up to 30 - not measuring the same thing or in the same units! You would not be anywhere near diabetic with an HbA1c of 30, 48 is the lowest for a diagnosis, with 42 - 47 considered as pre-diabetic.
