I take one of these, and it reduces glucose ;evels, reduces insulin dose and gradually allows one tio lose weight.
I take Dapagliflozin. No side effects after one month, dropped about 10 pounds.
I recommend it for anyone with type II diabetes with A1C readings over 7.5 ( 139 ).
I have taken Jardiance with good results. Of course, losing weight would be great, as another poster says.
But so would be not procrastinating, running yellow lights, or any number of things you also have control over.
I am lucky...I have been taking a cocktail of drugs for a number of years to keep off insulin, and they have worked pretty well. As I get older, my weight is dropping too.
Today, my weight is down to 181 lbs, which is below what I weighed as an E2 in the US Navy back in 1976. It is partially due to loss of muscle mass, surely, but still a milestone for me. My goal for the last 10 years has been to get to 180...I may finally get there.
Perhaps not the way I wanted, but...I may get there.
