DAPAGLIFLOZIN vs GLYBURIDE

I’m honestly so happy I’m not even sure how I feel. Back in July I unexpectedly found out I was diabetic after finding a high amount of sugar in my urine and being urged to go to the ER for immediate bloodwork. I’ve been put on 5mg of Farxiga (dapagliflozin) the last month or so and have been keepi

I used to take Xigduo and it was covered just fine on my previous insurance, but then I lost my job and had to get a plan off the healthcare marketplace. They have a fairly large deductible for prescriptions and charge coinsurance on name-brand drugs, so even after using a manufacturer's coupon I'd

http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm505860.htm The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has strengthened the existing warning about the risk of acute kidney injury for the type 2 diabetes medicines canagliflozin (Invokana, Invokamet) and dapagliflozin (Farxiga, Xigduo XR). Based on recent repo

So I just got my first CGM and I'm loving it! Previously, I was finger pricking and noticed that my waking BG was always higher than it was the rest of the day. I suspected Dawn Phenomenon, as it would be 120 odd and then settle down to 80-90 throught the day, with the odd spike upt to 120-140 after

I am 34 F , I have put on weight ( 13 kgs or 30 pounds ) steadily over the last 3-4 years post covid. Current weight is 94kg or 207 pounds at 166cm height. My HB1AC is 6.4 which my doctor said is on the border. I have high LDL cholesterol at 214. HOMA IR is 3.6 so I have insulin sensitivity. My do

I know 6 days is a small window, but hear me out. Diabetic for 9 years. Maintained it below 7 till 6 months back. Met with accident on 6th Oct, thumb got amputated just below nail. Found out during surgery blood tests Hba1c was 8 ( stress and stress eating in last 6 months pushed it up). Surgeon s

Hi, my dad (58) was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes almost a year ago. My dad drinks alcohol occasionally and is a non-smoker. Last December 6, 2024, his HbA1c increased from 7.5 to 8.1. We were a bit complacent with my dad's diet, and as a family of 5, we also had some lapses. We want to be stricter

Hi everyone, well I had a terrible year last year which brought on a huge amount of stress, due to mental health issues with my daughter and also working in a high pressured environment. I am a self-employed consultant so I have to work as I am the main breadwinner for the family. My diabetic contr

I'm sorry, I fell off the face of the planet. Or at least reddit. The last month and a half were a clusterfuck of feeling hot and miserable, a bunch of stupid stuff at work, and my family driving me a little crazy. If you are reading this and you haven't told anyone about your pregnancy, please plea

I graduated this week! I didn’t have GD with my first pregnancy and went into spontaneous labor at 40w2d. Baby #1 was a non-medicated vaginal delivery and I really wanted the same for baby #2. Was diagnosed with GD at 28w3d this time around. Diet controlled during the day, but went on glyburide over

I listened to all 12 lectures 10 months ago when I took the NCLEX and took important notes, it was very helpful looking back. Here you are:) - from a fellow RN that was once in your shoes Random NCLEX * For select all that apply, only select what you know. Don’t select any more than that. It’s ne

I had been having contractions on and off since 33 weeks, so we were all shocked when I made it to 39 weeks without a baby. However, I have an abundance of scar tissue due to surgeries for my cervical cancer, which were making it impossible for my cervix to dilate properly. As such, I was scheduled

Trigger warning: hypoglycemia, NICU, not positive I'm writing this post not because I want to remember all the details of our hospital stay, but that it might help someone else prepare for a potential NICU stay with realistic expectations, and know that you're not alone in all of this. This is my f

Charlotte was born on 7/15, a day after her grandma’s birthday. We were scheduled for an induction that day, due to arrive at the hospital at midnight. I had a rebellious placenta (AKA gestational diabetes), so an induction was something we had discussed weeks in advance, as a possibility. Given tha

I had my first stars event after 6 months of working at my store. I’ve been a licensed pharmacist for a little over a year. Basically the script was for glyburide and directions were supposed to say take by mouth twice daily with meals however it what was sent out as take mouth twice daily. Patient

First off, I'm on mobile so I apologize if this is annoying! Tl;dr: water broke at 31+4, admitted to L&D, now on hospital bedrest until further notice. Hella bored. I landed myself at L&D yesterday for the first time in my pregnancy. I'm currently 31+5 with a high risk mono-di twin girl pre
