[QUOTE="connon, post: 1900716, member: 492668"] I have tried Metformin 4 times in the past 10 years before resigning myself to the fact I could not tolerate this most used and generally effective diabetes II medication although my problems with it were cardiac related rather than gastric. I am now on 60mg MR Gliclazide x2, Sitagliptin 50mg x 1 and Forxiga [Dapagliflozin] 10mg x 1 and my HbA1C is better at 52 but obviously still too high. Incidentally before Dapagliflozin was added an extra 50mg of Sitagliptin was tried but that was thought to have caused the severely inflamed throat that quickly followed and was immediately stopped. Dapagliflozin apparently works by modifying kidney function to allow the release of sugar through the kidneys so make sure you let anyone taking urine samples from you know if you are on it otherwise they will think you have an even bigger diabetes problem. If I remember correctly the earliest simple test for advancing diabetes was whether or not there was sugar in the urine and with Dapagliflozin there definitely will/should be. [/QUOTE]
