Hi all I have posted a few times about my fear of glyclozide and my blood sugars being 100.
My morning reads were between 12-15, despite me losing 2 stone, walking, dance classes , low carb etc etc


I have finally given in and taken x 2 tablets over 2 days and this morning I couldn’t believe my eyes my reading was 8!
Already !

So fast I’m amazed! I guess il have to just be careful I dont go to low.

Feeling quite happy to be honest.

Just wanted to share

That's so good! Very often we fear things and they turn out to be okay when we actually do them. May you go from strength to strength. Thanks for sharing.
 
That's great news. Just a question do you mean your HBAC1 was 100?

How long have you been a T2?

That was a brave and fortuitous move. Well done. Keep an eye on the possibility of going low, and keep some carby snacks in a drawer somewhere in case. But my experience with it has been very benign. I found that I went from 106 down to the 40's and dropped my glic from 4*80mg to 1* 40mg now. I get the occasional low when I drink too much whisky on top, but nothing frightening. Have a Good Day.

I did! I got my Bluetooth working with my new mojo's, so I am having a celebratory nightcap.
 
similar to your situation my BG with just metformine was usually 10-13 mmol/l. I started with Forxiga and wham overnight went down into the 6s. Occasionally it goes into the 5s if I don’t overeat the night before, albeit low carb. It makes you feel euphoric doesn’t it!?
