[QUOTE="TheSecretCarbAddict, post: 2694989, member: 587131"] I've had to discontinue Forxiga (10g) when I doubled down on my low carb diet recently (<30g carbs a day) as in combination with gliclazide this was causing quite a few hypos. Came off gliclazide a couple of weeks ago and Forxiga earlier this week, as I was still having some low BG events. I've noticed that my overall BG levels have now gone up a little and will need to think how I spread my daily carb allowance across the day and perhaps tweak proteins as that is the next big impact on BG levels when it comes to food. I guess this is a longwinded way to say Forxiga seems to do its job when it kicks in. One interesting comment my GP made when reviewing my meds earlier this week was that discontinuing Forxiga might mean my weight loss will slow or plateu as I'll be getting rid of less glucose through urine. I'm hoping that discontinuing gliclazide at the same time will balance things out as gliclazide can encourage weight gain. I'll second the increased likelihood of developing thrush / UTIs when your BG levels are running high. Had to deal with thrush several times over the few years I was on Forxiga. Edit: I had to go back and write the first part of the post again as it got wiped while I was tapping my acreen to click that Send button. [/QUOTE]
