Dapagliflozin 10mg..

If you are on Dapagliflozin and its making you thrushy - ask to switch to Empagliflozin I found it to be much better. No problems with this drug for me.
Usually the Gp will prescribe 25mg daily ( as I was told this is the usual dose, but it's effectiveness is stronger than Dapagliflozin ( I discovered from the research that I did ) so I asked instead for for 10mg daily. It worked a treat, no horrible side effects .

I have been on Dapagliflozin for a few months now, along with Metformin and Alogliptin.
It has been a mixed experience.
The surgery was very concerned because I try to stick to low carbohydrate, and they were very worried about the risk of hypos.
I agreed to increase my carbohydrates.
[I self fund Libre 2 which made them more comfortable about identifying hypo episodes.]

Anyway, increasing my carbohydrate intake knocked me right off the wagon so the result was not lowered BG.
I am now scrabbling my way back on the wagon and I think (!) my BG results are looking a bit better than before I started the drug.
I do have both ketones and sugar in my wee, but this is as expected.
So fat (touch wood) I haven't had Thrush.

No other obvious side effects.
