I went to my Diabetic Clinic on Tuesday and we were discussing going back on to Victoza, however the Nurse also suggested Dapagliflozin which has only been on the market for approximately six months.

Has anybody heard of it or had success using it?

Thanks in advance.

There are some other forum members using it.

Hi Karen
Been diabetic for 20 years but not diagnosed till Aug 2012 and have just been put on it because I cant get control of my sugar levels. Will let you know how I get on with it, so far so good within one day my levels are lower so here's hoping it works.
