My thoughts entirely it was a total waste of a phone call tbh. If you feel depressed it says contact.
“
Jardiance (empagliflozin) is a medication prescribed for type 2 diabetes and to lower the risk of heart and blood vessel problems and death in adults1. It can cause side effects that range from mild to serious.
While depression is not listed as a common side effect of Jardiance, it has been reported in some cases2. However, it’s important to note that depression can have various causes, and it’s best to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of depression or any other concerning side effects while taking Jardiance, it’s crucial to seek medical attention promptly. Healthcare professionals can provide appropriate guidance and support based on individual circumstances.”
My nurse replied oh thats just to make sure your nit going to harm yourself”.
Just go with it.
i mentioned the sweats . no advice given
She asked my blood sugars and said meds were working but it was lower on diet alone and its going back up in the 7”s and ive gad one 8. I said id not be able to lower my carbs unless on a plan . “oh eat as much as you want thats the beauty of the med you will just pee it all out “
I just summarised that id not ga myself and take meds and see what my HbA1c was on the appointment next made.
Apart from getting that appointment for bloods all I think is get on with it. Your on a med and who cares what they do to me
Im not convinced low carb is a way i can do for life.
You enjoy it and get good results but unsure if its the way forward.
i know with 7 ‘s and 8’s im not going to be in remission she said i might get 61 when she first prescribed the med. She was going on the 108 HbA1c result not the 5.6 i was getting in diet alone.
Wondering now if Empagliflozin doesn't let you get too low .
im aiming for 60 carbs knowing that its mire like 80 to 90 with coffees with cream .
Also i try to enjoy my food so if tge recipe is more so be it. The highest has not been over 100 so im wdll within the 130 limit. i never aimed to be keto.
My bs rise in pain and stress which Im going through a bad phase at the moment.
ive not found it easy, not got the energy or the happiness others seem to get on low carb.
It might not be for me. ill go until my HbA1c but still feel there is something else going on .
Who knows but thats life at times you just have to exist for the sake of it
its morning ill get through . Go for a walk, do the work etc . Weekend is coming. Hopefully ill enjoy Strictly.
