[QUOTE="Toofycat, post: 2388730, member: 541299"] Hi everyone my name is Janine, type 2 diabetic diagnosed in 2004. Diet controlled for a while then different medications tried from about 2012, currently on dapagliflozin and ozempic. I had my review a few weeks ago and last week the dr rang with results (can’t remember exact numbers) anyway she said about starting insulin and also about protein in urine. Is prescribing for the kidneys but I got a 3 month stay for insulin. Anyway have been lurking on the low carb forum ever since and started adjusting my diet last week - 6 days in now. Apart from one reading of 9.7 my numbers have consistently been between 4.5 and 5.5 pre meals and 2 hours post. But in the last few days I have been feeling meh - headaches, a little nauseous and really low energy. So after reading more I purchased ketostix this morning and the colour was at the top end - 16mmol/L. My questions are do I need to be worried about this? And could this be the result of me taking dapagliflozin? Apologies for the long post. Edited to add - I’m eating between 60&70gms of carbs every day. [/QUOTE]
