I started with side effects pretty quickly. I find even now that I often feel a bit queasy within an hour after taking the tablet and it then wears off as the day progresses. I can have the awful reflux and burping all day though depending on what I eat first thing.

What a shame it’s not worked out for you. I’ve found the nausea isn’t as bad on the 14mg as it was on the 7mg. I’ve obviously built up a tolerance as time’s gone on. Is there anyone here in the more advanced stages of the trial? How are the side effects for them now?

A quick update following my annual diabetes review. My Hba1c levels have almost halved and are now in the low 30’s. My blood pressure has dropped to excellent normal levels and my BMI is now 27 from 33. I’ve lost 2.5 stone with about 10lbs to go. The weight loss has slowed right down now though...

I’ve just taken my first tablet from the randomised stage. It has the same horrible bitter taste of the others so I’m hoping it’s still the real thing. Was there a massive difference in the taste for those who ended up with the placebo? I haven’t been too bad on the lower doses apart from...

I had awful burping and nausea for 5 - 6 days when I started on 3 mg but it’s fine now unless I eat too much. I’ve been a bit constipated but eat a few dried prunes or apricots each day and that seems to sort it out. I’ve been on 7mg for 3 days and its not affected me. I get diverticulitis...

That’s good to hear. What strength have they prescribed….14mg?

I’m on day 5 now of the 3mg run in. Felt a bit nauseous and very burpy on day 2 but that seems to have settled. I’ve had a bit of a headache every day too, but I’m prone to them anyway, so might be nothing to do with the pills. I’ve lost a couple of pounds already which is great. I’m eating...

She said it was because I wasn’t on insulin so my diabetes was apparently controlled. This is despite it having gone up since I was last tested ( hence being given the Forxiga) I told her I’d been approached to do the trial but would prefer I was prescribed semaglutide but she suggested I give...

Hi I‘ve started on the 3mg run in today and so far so good. I found I didn’t tolerate metformin very well, but it improved slightly after they changed to the slow release version. The stomach cramps were really bad to begin with but did settle down after a while. My BS levels had gone up at my...
