[QUOTE="Walter Wolf, post: 1780672, member: 473281"] Just a quick update. For the last few days, I have halved the dose of metformin to 500mg, twice a day. The side effects have abated, so I am going back to work tomorrow and continue with the 500mg until the weekend. Once I am not working for a couple of days, I will try to go back to the full 1,000mg dose. I got the results back from the lab today and my HbA1c is 11.3. I have been put on a 10mg daily dose of Jardiance (empagliflozin) for the next 14 days. This will likely increase after then. Once the Jardiance starts to reduce my levels, I should get my energy back and be able to start going out for my long walks again (which I enjoy and intend to increase). Generally, I am feeling much more positively about things and am ready to resume my life. Hopefully, a combination of the medication and exercise will bring my symptoms under control and allow me to gef back to being the person I used to be. [/QUOTE]
