[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2314262, member: 323454"] Hello [USER=6160]@megan[/USER], Sorry, I'm a T2, so won't specifically comment on your situation. Just chimming in to suggest that maybe the medication your doctor was referring to is an SGLT2 inhibitor. SGLT2 inhibitors lower the threshold at which sugar is spilled through the kidneys and these sugars therefore end up in your urine). This class of medication can help a little by lowering insulin requirements, but as you've noted they are associated with ketoacidosis (or specifically with euglycemic ketoacidosis -- lowish blood sugars with high levels of ketones).
