Hi,
I have been T2 for about 5 years but my last 2 hb1ac as seen my levels creep up. I’ve started to cut other things out of my diet which is helping but had a call with my Dr and he want to add 10mg of Forxiga to my 2000mg metformin to bring it down. He has scared the hell out of me with side effects and said I have to be really watch out for them because they can be life threatening. I’m honest I’m not sure I want to take it but am I being silly. Is the medication safe? Ut was the mention of gangrene that has me panicked. Is it a widely used drug and how common are side effects.
Thanks
