[QUOTE="Susiespearish, post: 1272749, member: 124531"] The reason you are losing weight [USER=161848]@Fba[/USER] and getting good levels in the day is the way this drug works .It was explained to me by my diabetic consultant that you are passing more glucose out in your urine (that's the beneficial effect of these meds) Hence you lose weight despite eating the same as your literally passing more calories out .This effect clearly slows at night hence the higher night time readings. Has a lot of downsides too sadly .higher risk of dehydration and DKA and due to the passing of even more glucose in your urine can cause more UTI's and Thrush .Like you I started them yesterday.
