Forxiga.. How Long???

[reflet]

My blood sugars have been slowly rising since January and stated having real illness with Metformin which was changed to SR metformin. But levels still slowly rising, and after seeing my nurse it was decided to stop the Victoza and start Forxiga with the SR Metformin

I have to admit that I have not felt better than I do at the moment for many years. No lethergy, bright and happy, no nausea or other Metformin related problems. In fact I feel terrific..

But although I have only been on the Forxiga for a week, the sugars are still rising.. Morning now up to 17.6 from 16.2, and midday up to 14.5 from 12.6.
I have lost 7.5lb in weight in the last week, but no effect on levels ..

I presume the Forxiga is working as I am now entered in the Olympics for peeing, and the weight loss, but any idea on how soon before I might see the levels improve ???

Until 3 weeks ago I was on 2 x 5 mg Glipizide plus 2 x 500mg Metformin and 1 x 100mg Sitagliptin a day. The diabetic specialist nurse at the surgery was not happy that, on occasion, my blood sugars according to my test meter were under 5 and therefore in danger of a hypo. She changed my medication, taking me off the glipizide and substituting it for Forxiga 10mg. Since then whenever I test the readings have also been climbing. Never below 10 in the morning and 9 during the day. This morning was 14.8. I have mentioned it to the nurse. However, she said that she and the doctor will not consider taking me off the Forxiga and back onto glipizide (maybe a reduced dose) until I have been on it for three months so they can get a new HBA1C test. Meanwhile with the increased readings I am concerned about future damage to the rest of my body. Any ideas?
