[QUOTE="WJP1055, post: 2198126, member: 361282"] Morning fellow T1Ds. I don't write on here very often but I usually read selected articles on a regular basis. Since I've been suffering with back spasms, which are keeping off the golf course, I find that I have more than a little time to contemplate my current condition. I'm on Novorapid/Lantus and have followed a relatively low carb diet for 2 years but have only lost 1.5st, I'm currently 16st 7lb. I take two 500grm metformin tablets per day, one statin and an aspirin. My last HBA1C was 47 and my previous range has always been between 51 - 56, so that's a big tick. I've struggled to loose anymore weight despite being fairly active (golf 3 x pw = 15 miles of hill walking). I have asked my consultant about "dapagliflozin" which she says can help with weight loss but there is the possibility of risking DKA. So my question is has anybody tried this medication and did it have the desired effect, i.e. weight loss with little or no risk? [/QUOTE]
