Hi everyone,
Looking for advice from anyone on a new drug I’ve been put on.
I’ve been T2 for 6 years (diagnosed at 42) thus far on metformin (2 tabs twice a day) plus one Atorvastatin, Doctor has now added Forxiga, one tablet per day.
I’ve had better control in the past, managed to get down to 48 on Blood Sugar Diet (2017) but have lost a bit of control since then and back up at 70, the carbs have come back in but I have good days and bad days.
My cholesterol has improved, back to 4, and today the doc said I wasn’t seeing any real damage to kidneys, eyes etc. YET. But I have a fatty liver, which having read Mike Mosley is also part of the metabolic syndrome.
Anyway, I’ve been given the additional tablet Forxiga - and my question is would it be safe to go low carb on this? For example doing the protein shakes as in the Newcastle diet? The doc gave me a familiar story, I have a genetic predisposition to diabetes and should take the tablets and live with it, moderate my diet but not too severely...sure you’ll have heard this.
Anyone who can help with their experiences and advice, I’ll be really grateful.
cheers,
Scott
