Yeah but it was this one that had different effects. I'll post a link for you ;) http://www.diabetes.co.uk/news/2015/sep/empagliflozin-reduces-risk-of-heart-related-death-in-people-with-type-2-diabetes-98038144.html

It wasn't the weight loss benefits that had me considering it. It's the cardiovascular benefits that it appears to have. I've already lost a fair bit of weight with my own hard work and although i have a bit to go, i'd do that by continuing with my weight watchers low carb plan. I have a GP...

Hi everyone, i've been on Metformin now for roughly 5 months after a Type 2 diagnosis. Other than frequent trips to the loo, i've been fine. My BS wasn't coming down much until i started lowering my carb intake. However, i was getting some nausea and my diabetic nurse offered Empagliflozin...

Indeed it is :/

Thank you Spencer, yeah i'm taking all this advice in and will use it. Everyone has been fantastic :)

And that's quite frightening really !

I hope you are feeling better Craig ! It is rather scary, i'll be glad to be just getting on with some form of treatment and i can get my life back to normal.

Thank you :) I was very worried about my wait until Tuesday for some answers, i'm feeling a little more settled this evening thanks to all the responses :)

Thank you Daisy, everyone has been most helpful. I was feeling very lost this morning, i am learning that regardless of the official diagnosis, these eating plans are the way to go. So pleased to have found this forum.

This is where i'll find a problem, staying well hydrated. I've always had a problem with fluids. I've even been hospitalised with dehydration as i don't drink anywhere near enough. Actually i've just had a thought, with not having enough fluid in me, the extra visits to the loo must be making...

Hi Paul, You had me thinking there, no i didn't do all those things you mention when cleaning up my diet. I was just careful of calories etc and ate less sweet things which i have a bit of a tatse for. This is obviously why it's came back, only worse ! I am aware now it's going to be a...

Hi Daks, No, the call i received was from another clinic i attend who regularly check my bloods. I have a problem with my joints and attend a rheumatology clinic. I also have PCOS so all my bloods are done quite frequently. The rheumatology clinic contacted me about it, she was the one who said...

Hi everyone, i am a newbie so this is all very new to me :) The reason for my post is i was hoping someone could tell me if what i'm feeling is normal. Last year i had a BG done and it came back 7.9, i cleaned up my diet and got into a healthy bracket quite quickly. However over the last 6/8...
