[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 2046679, member: 408573"] Please remember that we are supposed to be in partnership with our health care professionals, it is not a matter of asking permission or of them dictating. Personally, I would say that I was concerned about this rare side effect but even more concerned about the heightened risk of DKA. I would mention a prescription for a free ketone monitor and a repeat prescription for antibiotics and antifungals! Once you voice your concerns the nurse or the GP cannot dismiss them and must therefore offer alternative treatments of which there are many. Just to be clear, I am not saying you should stop taking your medication but if you are concerned and would like an alternative then do not be worried about stating your wishes, they are there to advise and treat not to dictate. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
