[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1585802, member: 355878"] As the prescribers seem to be more like headless chickens than most I've read about, I do wonder if you need medication - rather than eat carbs to stop the treatment causing you problems - what happens if you eat low carb and test to see if you are able to get normal readings? If you do not have high blood glucose then the Farxiga is a wasted effort, if insulin makes you hypo - and Metformin - sheesh - bad news for me too, so control by diet would seem to be an option for you, though I expect you'll need to work with your doctor to find out how to stop the insulin safely. This information is somewhat biased as I found that I don't need medication to control my blood glucose only after nasty side effects from the tablets. [/QUOTE]
