Forgazia (gapagliflozin)

I'm 7 weeks into lcfh. I'm loving how it makes me feel. But so much more important is watching my bg readings come down.
Only 7 weeks ago I was measuring in the teens and stupidly blaming a course of steriods to help a relapse with my MS ( multiple sclerosis). Yes they didn't help but it was down to the carbs I was eating...I finally stopped feeling sorry for myself and resolved to get a grip.
I've had enormous support and help on the forum from such kind people that made me even more determined.
My readings now average 5.5 in the day ..naturally go low in the late afternoon....all good. But.....
My morning fasting is averaging 11.5. Sometimes lower. But nothing I've tried works.. I can go to bed on a 5.6...and wake up 9. Or 10.... not good
Today I've started on forgazia. So I thought it may do some good to chart on here how I get on. Its still a new med simply put the kidneys excrete excess glucose through your urine to a degree.. more and more people are being prescribed this drug so maybe others could chart their progress?
So far I have a bit of a dry mouth but apart from needing to wee more I feel good.
My gp who luckily supports lchf. Mainly because he uses it because of type 2 himself. (I'm lucky as no long explanations and he is happy for me to follow it)
So here goes
my fasting was 10.1
I'm already at 7.1 now..breakfast dropped from pre reading
Id be delighted to hear from others trying this med

Update...from 7.1 post breakfast I'm down to 5.8.... pretty much in line with daytime readings...I'm drinking a lot of water. Seem to have a bit of increased energy.
I was told that you can lose weight on this so I'm hopeful...although following lchf ( well increased fats and moderate protein) I've lost just over a stone. With a stone to go.
I've also reducedy portion size with no hunger at all...I'm convinced I wasn't drinking enough water also...
So all good up to now

Pre tea 5.1..so no immediate worries about going too low..no side effects yet.

Post dinner 6.1. So no surprises but it is only day one..I will be keen to see if my fasting tom is any better...

Yes I'm finding that too drinking lots and a bit of a dry mouth. Low carbing as well...I'm down 2 points on my fasting from 10 average. Getting good readings in the day.. good luck

Thankyou. Its looking good so far. Down to 5.5 pre lunch

And post lunch 5.8

Thankyou . Hopefully my fasting will finally come down too

Pre tea 6.1
After. 1 hr 7.2
After 2 hrs 7.0
This is such an improvement
Nearly 3 hrs back to 5.8. Does happy dance!

I'm one happy bunny today. Fasting of 7.2 after going to bed at 5.8
This seems to be working so well already for me
My daytime readings were good it was just the liver dump that for me started at 3 am and just got higher..but its the lchf that has brought me down from the high teens readings of six weeks ago

Hi. Thankyou. I started straight on 10 mg....I'm chuffed as I've also lost another lb already. I'm glad its helping you too...no side effects except drinking lots which is good
