Back in Hospital. Angiogram programmed for this week. Diabetic consult is planning to send me home with Dapaglifozine plus my Metformin. Anybody have experience of adding Dapa and Metformin?

Morning all, shock this morning fbg 8.0 and bed was 6.5 . Nuts , cheese and mini pepperoni sticks late last night is what I'm blaming. Off to gym now and won't eat till midday to lower numbers . Enjoy your day folks

Morning All. 7.0 today probably cos I nibbled some almonds last night. @Sznn1 welcome to the forum. You can turn things around lots of us have. We are only meant to talk about FBG here so can I suggest you post on the T2 section about where you are, you will get lots of support and guidance.
@Estragon sending virtual hugs. Happy Tuesday everyone.

Mmmmm well 7. this morning, still not trusting the metre or strips from GlucoRx as it seems a bit higher numbers. Off for my work out anyway

5.3 from Swipey today. 2 hrs later but I don't do excuses - either this stuff works or it doesn't. @Estragon hugs, thoughts and prayers with you.

Morning all. Not good news for me this morning. Bedtime 7.7. Today 8.5. And I know why and that it's my fault. Nuff said. Chin up @Estragon. We're all rooting for you.

No but the bloods nurse at my surgery is on Dapaglifozine but only on that no Met, she couldn't handle Met. Seems happy with it, says her bloods are much better controlled. Hope it works for you.

5.6 this morning. Sometimes I just get sick of myself and my excuses @ianpspurs but my excuses seem to be much more proactive than my will power.

@Estragon hope things settle down for you. Hugs.

Your willpower is fine as your fbgs and A1c prove. My point, though badly worded, was LC is experimental ergo hit and miss. Accepting this should stop people feeling they have done something "wrong" when their bg reflects this. People who won't accept it is experimental can seem extremely patronising sometimes almost belittling other posters. Hope I didn't come over like that.

Enjoy your day folks

 

[JohnEGreen]

6.3 for me today.

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. 6.6 for me today. Happy Wednesday everyone.

5.1 via Swipey seems sub-optimal after 19.7 gms carb. BG not exactly going for a frolic on the nearby Newmarket Gallops but doesn't match the hype IMHO - YMMV. Ramadan Mubarak to all concerned.
