I would like to receive recommendations for glucose monitors especially with regards to actual cost for monitor and testing strips.

Took my first prescribed Dapaglifozin 5mg today and a couple of hours later could not read the text on my computer for a couple of hours - really weird. Information leaflet list change in vision as a side effect. Will be contacting GP tomorrow.

Hi @richf , a change in vision (blurry) is very common when you blood glucose changes quickly.
Do not get expensive prescription glasses but buy cheap reading glasses while your eyes adjust to your healthier glucose levels.

@Rachox will likely post the current information on glucose monitors, teststrips and free samples of continuous glucose monitors when she's online.
