[QUOTE="spats, post: 1132037, member: 45690"] Hi! Has your diabetes team offered the fairly new Dapagliflozin tablets. At 10mg a day they cost roundabout £1.50 each, But could save a lot more if successful. There are certain criteria that have to be followed, but well worth asking!! They act by chucking out spare glucose. SO things to watch are that they arn't working too well! Much easier to use when actually using Insulin on a sliding scale (my insulin use dropped steadily at first).You will need advice on hypo attacks otherwise! They will reduce the apatite so eat slowly and only eat what you need. Try not to snack, Take a drink instead. As they are moving out water be aware of dehydration and constipation.. I drink as much water as I can so that there is a continuous flow of water to keep the irritating sugar in the bladder diluted.. Water can be made more interesting with the addition of lemon juice- NOT CORDIAL!!! They work best when you have loads of spare sugar, then slow down when there is nothing to chuck out. I have the same reason for loosing weight! Hope you get your operation soon as exercise and bad knees don't mix!! [/QUOTE]
