I’m in the happy position of my DN suggesting I stop taking Dapagliflozin as the trend in my HbA1c is consistently downwards - it’s now 39. I’d stay on metformin until at least my next review in six months time. That’s great news and obviously I’m delighted. Yet my mind keeps going back to something my GP said, that Dapagliflozin is such a useful drug as it has other benefits for my heart and kidneys long term. So my question is, should I stop, as my DN suggests, or chat more about the benefits of staying on Dapa? I’m not into second guessing medical people - but getting diagnosed with T2D in my mid-50s has led me to a keen interest in my long term health and I’m starting to think about things, such as how I do all I can to prevent kidney and heart disease.
