I guess a lot of how you feel is to do with the cold? Maybe you won't feel any benefits until that is gone? I literally got so much energy and vitality back within a week or so of starting on forxiga, have lost weight and reduced my levels hugely! Hope you can get along with it eventually - and get well soon!I've been on it nearly 4 weeks now and, to be honest, I feel like s**t! It may be because I have a rotten cold - which always messes with the blood sugars, but I feel so lethargic and unmotivated that I keep checking and my sugars seem to be in the 7's all the time even though I am hardly eating anything because I have a stinking sore throat too. I've gone from 20mg gliclazide once and metformin 2x twice a day to 10mg dapaglifloxin and the same amount of metformin. I've also started yet another statin ... maybe that is why I feel so dreadful - I hate statins, they make my joints ache ...,pravastatin 10mg - anybody tried that one??
I don't appear to have lost any weight either, despite eating less
Bah and humbug!
Don't be put off if things don't happen quickly, if you are still eating too many carbs as on a low carb eating plan then you won't get the results that others have. I believe the doc thinks that something else is going on to give you sixagliptin. Read about the drug if you use the search button or Wikipedia. It's an inhibitor to release more insulin and decrease glucagon in your bloods.Ive just been put on this Drug too. Had slow release metformin but after a few months made me feel rough. Went onto slow release Metformin made me feel far better BUT my average Mmols went from 7 to 12+ . Dr added Saxagliptin still no change. Now he has added Forxiga 10mg. I have had lower readings over the last three days so im hopeful.
Good luck everyone
I was on Pravostatin and my BS went up. I came off them due to side effects and my BS came down. I also felt and slept a lot better after I stopped taking them.I've been on it nearly 4 weeks now and, to be honest, I feel like s**t!
