[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2664894, member: 372717"] I guess the question here is, does your new treatment work? What are your blood sugars doing on it? My understanding is that dapagliflozin can have some benefits for the heart and kidneys so this may be a factor in your case??? [URL]https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/dapagliflozin/about-dapagliflozin/[/URL] And like [USER=372207]@Antje77[/USER] I would urge you to be aware of the small possibility of diabetic ketoacidosis at lower blood sugar levels than for a T1 not taking this drug. I would recommend that you ask for a blood testing meter that can check ketones,if you haven't already got one. What sort of insulin regime were/are you on? Most T1s and LADA go on a basal bolus regime where they take 1 or 2 injections of a long acting insulin each day, combined with short acting for meals and correction doses.... I would hope that whether T1 or LADA (usually regarded as a subset of T1) the NHS is supplying you with technological goodies such as a libre glucose sensor? [/QUOTE]
