Anyone taking Forxiga / Dapagliflozin “Dapa”

[collectors]

About 20 weeks ago my blood sugars was up in the high teens & i i was on “per day”
4 metformin / 4 Sildenafil / 1 Ramipril / 1 Atorvastatin, but i have been on a good diet & my blood sugars are now around the 6 on average a week.
A few weeks ago my nurse took me off 2 of the Sindenafil & replaced them with a 1 tab of Dapagliflozin & all was fine with my bloods at 6 still. So i went down to 1 Sildenafil a day & still at 6. Now a week ago she said stop taking the other Sindenafil & my sugars are now up at 9.5 average. Has anyone used Dapagliflozin with good results??

I believe this med is also sold under the brand Forxiga or Farxiga. I’m trying to think of members here who use any of the gliflozins.

this is an old thread, with some members who no longer frequent the forum, but might give you some background: https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/threads/tell-me-about-sglt2-inhibitors.46905/

Hi, your quite right. I just heard a couple of nurses calling it Dapa for short. Lets face it, even they "like me" can't pronounce half the medical words, lol. I also just noticed i can't change the thread title. Would be grateful if you have this permission to add or change to Forxiga. Thanks.

Hi, I take Empagliflozin, along with Metformin and gliclizide, I have noticed a reduction in numbers now being on all of them.

I take Canagliflozin, along with Metformin and I have noticed reduction in my numbers as well, I also used to takw Sitagliptin but as my HbA1C came down to 44, they stopped that med.
