My doctor wants me to change my medication as my last Hbaic has gone up slightly (to 7.7 mmol from 7.3 mmol). I currently take Metformin twice daily.
He has suggested the above drug but to be honest i'm not keen on taking any medication other than metformin as I am trying to lose weight myself and I already exercise by going to the gym.
The doctor said that with this particular drug, you pee out the extra sugar but that I would be more prone to UTI's (which I've had and I don't want).
What are your thoughts, those on the same drug? TIA
