[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 900039, member: 84857"] Feeling worried and concerned about this drug having read the stories ....my partner already made numerous trips to the toilet before starting on this so the risks of dehydration are there...don't know if this has increased since starting on Forxiga but was woken at least three or four times during the night as he heaved himself out of bed to go to the bathroom.. He is having a blood test today to check kidney function and HbA1c and is seeing diabetic nurse for results on Tuesday....am secretly hoping that something shows up to say that he shouldn't be on this medication as I am really concerned about the potential risks and if he will notice the signs and do something about it....don't know what the alternatives are but hopefully something less risky... If not then there will certainly be questions that I will be wanting to ask especially before we go away on holiday in October...it is one thing knowing that you have the NHS on your doorstep in case of any complications but quite another when you are in a foreign country for two weeks with no idea of the level of knowledge and care or hospital facilities....am already feeling that the holiday could be stressful......I know that my partner will not worry about it (that's the way he is) but I will....
