Type 2 Doubling meds to get same dose

[woollygal]

So I went down to 5mg forxiga couple weeks ago to stop sugars dropping as much.

Am in hols and sugars are up on usual namely due to diet.

Realised today maybe I could go back to 10mg for couple days till I get home to just get more sugar out of me.

Is it as simple as 2 of my 5mg or is it far more complicated and dangerous to double up?

I woke up on an 8 today so just doesn’t feel like they are hitting nail on the head.

To be fair am going home tomorrow so can get back to normal diet and get things even keel again

We cannot and should not advise on changes of dosages of medications. That is a decision that you or you and your health team should make.

Nobody here can advise on changing your meds, like you say you are back home tomorrow so not a massive problem, for me I would get back on the wagon today as much as possible and settle right back in to my way of eating as soon as I'm home.

Give your practice a ring - they should be able to advise you
