I started jardiance 5 days ago after failing to get my hba1c down without meds. They couldn't give me metformin as I'm a long term alcoholic ( no judgement please, if you haven't been there etc) and seemingly it doesn't interact well with alcohol, so Jardiance it is. Today I took unwell in the afternoon, light headedness, abdominal pain, acute tiredness (no, I hadn't been drinking lol). Within hours I'd developed an insatiable thirst, kept trying to drink water but that just resulted in projectile vomiting! Had acute diarrhea every 15 minutes for the past few hours. I'm sure it's just a bug but what with the new med and the recent bad hba1c results coupled with my limited knowledge of the disease, and my anxiety issues,I can't help but be paranoid. I phoned NHS24 and I'm now even more concerned as they want to send transport to get me to hospital in the next hour or so.
