Thank you, I will investigate more.

Thank you, I have reduced the gliclazide to 40mg a day and hope to drop that one completely in the next few weeks. I was just interested to see if the side effects for the inhibitors had affected anyone significantly.

I am not sure, I will ask the nurse next time I speak to her.

Thank you

Thank you, that’s really helpful.

I have only been on the low carb for a couple of months so I know my HBA1c will come down further, i use the carb manager app and thus is 18g diabetic carbs a day but I am usually between 12-15g. Yes, I have had the c-peptide test as there was some doubt on whether I was type 2 as both my mum...

Yes, I am on a low carb diet which has has improved my blood sugars a great deal.

Could I ask what side effects and potential risks you had?

Yes, my nurse has suggested these. I am on a low carb diet ( most of the time!) blood sugars are in a good range but I want to lose weight, difficult to exercise too much as I have a bad back.

Has anyone tried sglt2 inhibitors? I have reduced my hb1ca to 8.2 , previously 10 and 11 at its worst after a long period of denial. In the zone now but looking at alternative medication. Currently on sitagliptin and gliclazide.
