Hope you don't mind me asking but what's made you want to go on Forxiga?

Ive been on it for about 2 months.
I don't mind at all I was on Metformin for 5 years and it made me ill, so eventually the consultant took me off it. I am also on Sitagliptin and want to come off that too, and I've also read that Forxiga helps with weight loss, which I am struggling with. My DSN also suggested it. Hope that helps! How have you found being on it?
 
still sounds horrible having butter in coffee.......

The thing I've found is that I am eating really weird things that really don't fit with the English style of eating such as cheese and tomatoes for brekkie, or yoghurt and cream. Reading the posts on here and going lchf has encouraged me to try things I would not have considered before. I've even started eating eggs again, which I have actively avoided for years and I'm enjoying my coffee with cream (perhaps a bit too much!) after drinking it black for as long as I can remember
 
Today's food

B... Green smoothie
L... Watermelon and few dry peanuts
D... Cauliflower cheese bake, few oven chips
S.. Jelly n cream
 
Reading this has just reminded me that I haven't taken my meds tonight. Going getting them now.
 
B: yoghurt berries and cream, hurrah!
L: salad with mozzarella cheese, toms, more cheese, a bit of cheese, and bacon strips
D: ham and cream cheese rolls with cheese coleslaw, you berries and cream again

Very well done
 
Reading all this stuff about coconuts has just put me in the mood for a Chicken Korma curry............home made of course. Well when I say home made, I mean 1/3 jar of Korma sauce and 2 chicken breasts and some sort of veg on the side.
We'll assuming you did MAKE it at HOME ergo "home made"
 
I'm the same with the solid coconut fat. I started using the dregs in the jar as a moisturiser on my feet. It's rather strange. I used to be famous for my smelly feet, now they smell rather like digestive biscuits!
Who's going to be nibbling on your big toe then now they smell good enuf to eat
 
maybe not
 

I'm still on metformin ... Not sure if I still should be tho!
I was on sitagliptin for a few weeks, it made me very ill... Too ill that I nearly ended up in hospital

I've been on Forxiga since December 2014 and could see a reduction in blood sugars from day 1
Lost a few pounds, not a lot, about 1/2 stone Clothes are quite loose... In fact I'm pleasantly surprised I can now wear dresses that were a wee bit snug before
Haven't had any unpleasant side effects that the DN mentioned, such as urinary tract infections.
My tip is ... Drink lots and lots of water and I drink ocean spray low sugar cranberry juice, everyday!

Can't think of anything else atm but please let me know when you're going to start on Forxiga ... And I really hope it works for you

I know a couple of other people on here who have been on Forxiga and achieved fantastic results, much much better than mine!
