[QUOTE="Blackwater5, post: 2487109, member: 552414"] I was given lipigliptin when my hbA1c went from 50 to 55in a couple of months. I was given no diet advice, no advice really, just told to eat a balanced diet. Then the hives and blisters caused by the lipigliptin, was given a powerful steroid cream and next test I was up to 56. My last hbA1c was 67, I'd been taken off diabetic meds, but still knew nothing about diet, just that exercise was good. But by then it was too painful to even walk. I've now been off oral steroids fpor 10 days and my figures are improving, which may be connected with my avoiding sugary and high carb foods. I've recently been diagnosed with proteinuria although my GP says my kidneys are 'good' so he's prescribed pirindipil. He won't consider metformin because of positive liver antibody tests years ago, but my liver numbers have always been good and the last test for viruses I had didn't find any, which the consultant couldn't understand the reason for. But both the GP and hospital seem to have records saying I never saw a consultant. I think that I was given the gliptin because my bg is low compared to most and then they were planning on a a gliclazide, but changed their minds after high sugar spikes stopped when I stopped oral steroids and went more low carb. I have the lowest dose of a beta blocker and that group of drugs can make you unaware of hypos. Now I've been prescribed the SGLT-2 inhibitor, but I've read up on it and it seems that there are contraindications as well as weight loss (BMI of 21 now). Because of my experience with gliptins and my reading about SGLT-2 inhibitors I'm afraid to take them, and that alone could cause problems. Regarding fats, I had a meal of 3 boiled eggs, salad and lots of olive oil. After eating it I felt nauseous. Thanks for the info about SGLT-2 inhibitors making your body get rid of glucose in urine..
