    Dapagliflozin 10mg Side effects

    Thank goodness your necrotizing fascillitis was diagnosed and treated. I was put on Dapagliflozin on top of Metformin. Then I began low carb eating and my A1c steadily improved. But I developed severe burning urine, and when UTI was repeatedly negative and antibiotics didn't work, I stopped...

    Pizza bases ready made best ones or which flour/etc

    I haven't tried their pizza triangles yet, but I like their low carb sourdough bread a lot. They recently came out with lower carb bread, bagels and croissants, which I personally don't find as tasty. To create a sort of pizza, I use Mission low carb wraps for a very thin base, available at...

    I guess I have to start all over again.

    I'm holding up okay, thank you for your kind thoughts. My cancer biopsy result was negative, which is a relief.

    I guess I have to start all over again.

    After a long inability to control my T2D, I gave up my much-loved pasta, and even virtuous sourdough bread, and went on a low carb regime. This brought my A1c down to 42. But then a series of operations resulted in a post-anaesthesia heart attack and a rare and deadly infection with a long...

    Libre 2 plus app. Logbook not working.

    Thanks for the suggestions Jaylee. The app stays on 'loading' logbook indefinitely, but I can exit to other features on the app. I'm on A12. I can't think of another app that would conflict. I don't recall updating librelink.

    Libre 2 plus app. Logbook not working.

    The logbook on my Libre 2 plus no longer works. What can I do fix and retrieve existing? It's on an old Samsung phone. Thx.

    Bewildered. Glucose and sodium lactate drip for diabetic?

    I am in hospital, receiving antifungal treatment. I woke up to find nurse about to give me glucose drip followed by sodium lactate drip. My BG has not been low according to finger pricks, now 8.3 when I had a low carb meal about 4 hours ago. It showed low on my Libre sensor, which has obviously...

    Bad news. Complications in hospital stay.

    UPDATE: I had tried to order online from Waitrose but the hospital WiFi blocked this and other access to merchants. I just gave it a last ditch effort and it worked!!! I can only have a limited amount of prepared food - fridge space, etc - but it's to supplement hospital food some of the time...

    Bad news. Complications in hospital stay.

    Thank you @lovinglife . Great comments. Unfortunately, after Xmas holidays, January was meant for "back on the wagon". I have to control my BS because if it goes too high, they won't administer anaesthetics for essential procedures. In my previous post, I attached a menu for my previous...

    Bad news. Complications in hospital stay.

    I recently posted about no low carb options in hospital stay. Initially, it was meant to be 2 nights, so not a huge problem. Then a silent heart attack on recovering from surgery, so a bit longer. Then they discovered an extremely rare, lethal, and resistant fungal infection, so I have to stay...

    Hospital food for diabetics.

    Thanks, Outlier. I am mobile, but not allowed to leave the ward for downstairs unless accompanied. I've asked for permission, in case the café has hummus with crudités, which it sometimes has. As to a fry-up, it's a tiny café so I doubt it. In any case, I had a post op silent heart attack...

    Anyone having big reliability issues with Freestyle Libre 2 Plus sensors?

    Libre 2 plus: 3.2. Finger prick 8.9. And no, I'm not lying on my sensor.

    Hospital food for diabetics.

    That would explain the omelette I tried. It looked odd, too.
