I've been on Dapagliflozin 10mg for the past week. I initally started on 5mg daily for 2 weeks. My BS have become a little more erratic at times, I guess the body is just trying to sort things out. I haven't felt well for the last few days, sleeping very heavy and not feeling refreshed. Anyway, today felt generally a bit worse (nothing specific to add, just feeling out of sorts), took my BS and it was 21.5. Talk about going into panic mode!! This was probably the worst thing I could have done, but I have never had a reading that high before and I've never been told what to do if that reading is high. Spoke to GP who said basically 'worry over 20, but don't worry about it' which is as useful as a chocolate tea cosy. This was 45 minutes ago and prior to this I had eaten half a banana on one slice of sourdough (which I've eaten many many times before and it has never spiked this high). Interestingly, my Libre has also picked up real lows of 3.5 in the past 48 hours too. Is it really possible to go from 3.5 to 21.5 in a matter of 6 hours?
I'm sitting at about 12.2 right now, I've been for a walk and I'm drinking water. I feel so out of my depth and lost and fear I will worry about going out on my own.
I understand no-one can advise me medically and I've spoken to my GP, the nurse is ringing me on Monday for a follow up. But, were yours that high? Do they still get that high at times? Type 2.
