I believe there have been 120+ cases in the UK, including at least 2 fatalities.I can see that the online patient information leaflet has been changed to include warnings, but the PIL inside the packets of medication does not include any information and will take time to catch up. I wasn't warned by my prescriber or by the pharmacist. When I went back and queried my symptoms with them I was told it was because the medication was working and my blood sugars were falling. My sugars were running at 3-4 even though I was in DKA. When I went to A&E the doctor was about to send me home even though my ketones were off the scale. I was only when I showed him the warnings from this site on my phone that he ran blood tests and then all hell broke loose!</blockquote>
