Or had experience with either?Started meds just before Christmas which was just Gliclazide titrating up to 2 tablets with breakfast and 2 with my evening meal.My sugar levels were still all over the place going up to 16/17mmol after meals but 8mmol at the lowest without eating for hours..Nurse got me tested for type 1 as things didnt seem to add up but results came back as type 2 so decided rather than have me on 8 tablets(would have been if she'd prescribed metformin) daily she'd try Empagliflozin as it's only the one tablet daily on top of my 4 Glic total daily. Anyway I decided to wait until a day I wasn't working to start the new meds and well thus evening I felt so rubbish I tested and my sugars were 5.2mmol which is madness for me as never seen them that low since diagnosis.Anyway my worry is with that being so low after one day what's going to happen going forward as was told I didn't really need to test sugars as I wouldn't end up with low sugars but after 1 day of these new meds they're going to that level I worry about my levels and what this will mean going forward.We arranged the next appointment would be in April but got a feeling ill have to see my nurse sooner.Any help is appreciated.Thanks.</blockquote>
