Have been type two for about 7 years and was on metformin. 2x850 per day. Recently my Hb1AC numbers started going up. Reached 9. I wasn't checking and was travelling a lot but I was still surprised.
A month Dr added Forxiga 10 once a day in the morning. I started testing again. Now frequently testing am am surprised how high my reading is after even modest meals. It seems the medication is not doing much.
Fasting is 8 or 9. 2 hrs after meal it is often 13/14. Seem crazy numbers to me. I am feeling rather tired.
I am suspecting that my body is not producing sufficient Insulin - if I understand correctly, these meds only work if there is sufficient insulin? Am I correct.
Are there any tests that can test for level of insulin production?
Thanks for your help
