[QUOTE="ert, post: 2073771, member: 504712"] I really hope you get the medical care and support you are seeking. You are worried about hypoglycemia on Forxiga? My understanding hypos were only an issue when Forxiga was taken with sulphonylureas and or insulin (see the article below.) Please ask your GP about this, of course. I try to keep my blood sugars in the 4's as much as possible, like a normal person without diabetes does naturally. We have homeostasis mechanism that stops my blood sugar going below 3.9 mmol/l unless you are on insulin or sulphonylureas, or chronically ill or running a marathon etc. When I was first diagnosed my blood sugars were averaging over 18.5 mmol/l so when they went under 10, I certainly felt it. But I embraced this new me, I didn't eat anything to put it back up, which would have made me feel better. My new normal is that I feel best when I'm running under 5 mmol/l.
