Be happy you lost some weight woohoo! This site scared the hell outa me (and im 49) because there were so many people being so **** angry and domineering when i mentioned negative moods or readings. Now i just avoid them and hope someone will be nice and give support and a smile ; )Hi I was put on this tablet today by the diabetic consultant (finally got to go to the hospital clinic!) Was supposed to be going on byetta but have to wait til after my gallstone operation. I'm always anxious before starting a new med. Little worried about this one as wee alot as it is!! And prone to uti' s. But tested my bg just before dinner and it was 12.4 eeek. Been burying my head in the sand about the diabetes, but after latest hba1c of 68 I need to buck my ideas up me thinks!!!
Great news your sugars are down to the nines thats where my highest readings are these days. Im sure you'll have noticed the weight reduction I have lost a lot 16.9stone-13.2 stone, from size 24 to size 14 jeans and 18/20 top because of the boobs and thats 3/4 months.
Forxiga is a great med and like all others there are side effects but personally i can put up with it as its helpin. I hope you get a good result in your use of it too. take care...smile...xxx

Just started Forxiga today in addition to metformin. My control has been reasonable but my DN and GP are interested to see if it will help me lose weight. Fingers crossed! Good tip about the mouth spray - will keep it in mind
oh cultivator you are a mystery with no clue if you're man...woman...child...adult..age etc...sorry I'm just a typical nosey scots woman hahahaHi Everyone, I am really encouraged to see that so many people are doing well on Forxiga. I'm getting my first repeat prescription of it today - so into the second month. So far I feel like **** - but you have encouraged me to keep going and maybe things will settle and I'll start losing weight and have more energy and all those lovely possibilities... feel like I could spend a week in bed now though
sorry jude been in depression mode recently....nothing to do with the diabetes....yes weight still coming off and its a pain not being able to buy new clothes hahaha i tell my family im an old saggy elephant with all the wrinkly skin...take care...smile...xxxHi Fairiesue, Just wondering if you are continuing to lose weight. Have sent you a couple of messages but you do not appear to have got back to me.
Hiya well it depends on how thirsty you feel i suppose, i drink water most of the day apart from tea in morning and after teatime as I am thirsty a lot but i have no idea what amount it is. Ha hahaha yes I do have 2 trips to the loo through the night but maybe thats because my body is washing out the sugar from that cup of tea and choccy biscuits i had at 8pm! Only you will know how much more or less fluids to take on how thirsty you are....smile...xxxHi to you all, thank you all for your comments. Do the extra visits to the toilet happen overnight as well? (I sincerely hope not). Also, several of you have commented about drinking plenty - can you quantify that for me? I already drink about 2 litres of water a day with tea and some diet coke. Will I need to increase this? Thank you.
Oh I do hope it all settles down for you soon! I took to it like a duck to water and have excellent results, dramatically reduced levels and combined with lchf have lost 3st 3lbs so far ( 16 weeks)Hi Everyone, I am really encouraged to see that so many people are doing well on Forxiga.
