Hi - have just recently been prescribed the above to use in conjunction with Metformin, Novorapid and Levemir.
I understand the basic principles of this, but am wondering how long after starting treatment I should notice any benefits as, to be honest, I am almost a week in and all it has done is send me to the loo about 9 times a night (daytime is not much different to how it was, perhaps one or two more visits), made me tired and irritable, and given me an almost constant headache.
I am at the point of ringing my GP (the drug was prescribed by my consultant) for their advice as I am more than a little fed-up with it already.
I haven't noticed any radical change to my BG's during the day. I am now testing before I go to bed at night and they are a little lower than they were (which then makes them border on hypo, so am then having to have 'supper' which I never ate before to stop hypo'ing during the night!).
The promised weight loss isn't occurring (though it is only a week) but I tend to weigh myself twice a week and, if anything, my weight is climibing rather than falling!!!!!
Any comments would be gratefully received!!!
many thanks
Trudy
