[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2015344, member: 196898"] Yes. That was the one I found that gives the 0.35% risk increase for glic only users. But unlikely my consultant would read that and accept it as gospel. He must have had direction from somewhere else. not in the BNF yet as far as I can see, but because I do not know what the new heart med i am being given is called I cannot follow that up for its specific instructions. We patients are not allowed to have access to the patient guidelines insert data since this is their magic art they need to keep from us mere mortals (Yes I do feel more mortal now) These secrets are kept locked up with the meds, and even these come in plain packaging so as to disguise them. Anyway it is slightly academic at the moment. As I said I am on full frontal hospital food, 3 meals a day, and fully carb laden to boot. But my bgl is not doing handsprings now, and I seem to be coping without a secondary diabetic med. If this persists, I am sure that[I] [/I]I[I] [/I]will cope when back at home on LC diet. I started this thread mainly to see if a new warning was in place about Glic that may affect other forum users, or even if there was a hint that Glic might actually trigger heart failure. But thanks to all for your comforting messages concerning my present predicament. [/QUOTE]
