EMPAGLIFLOZIN vs GLYBURIDE

I have my monthly checkup soon and my lab test came (finally) under 6 after 4 months of daily exercise and low carb diet (im currently just taking 25 mg empagliflozin). So incredibly grateful for this community and working towards managing it without any medications. 🥲 I will be celebrating with

I’ve been T2 for 10+ years and I was diagnosed at a pretty young age (21), so it’s really something I’ve been living with for my whole adult life, and over that time my treatment has changed, and new medications have been added where it’s been needed to help keep my levels under control. My GP has r

**So an Update: I asked my primary care doctor that I wanted to go and see an endocrinologist. I got told that I do not qualify to see one. She claims I am a diabetic but I can't go and see a endocrinologist.** So, went to my doctor at the VA end of last month. Had blood work done. No one told me

I just read in an article that someone was paying over $500 a month for that single drug alone. How in the hell do you poor US citizens manage your healthcare costs? It's difficult for me to get my head around tbh

I was diagnosed with diabetes roughly 3 weeks ago with an HBA1c of 12 and prescribed metformin xr, empagliflozin, sitagliptin, and got a cgm as well. Changed my diet abruptly and removed all food with added sugars and bad carbs and I found out doing IF 16/8 helps as well. Also added exercise through

In the last few months, I’ve been stress-eating and fully aware that my lifestyle is incredibly unhealthy. Despite knowing better, I didn’t care so much, overwhelmed by stress from work and my personal life. As a result, I started experiencing the usual symptoms—feeling thirsty and frequently needin

The warnings for Jardiance (Empagliflozin) include this statement Jardiance may increase the risk of lower limb amputation (especially of the toe and foot).

I recently spent four months doing a clinical trial with Empagliflozin. This is my experience and I want as many Type I's to see it as possible. I am writing this post in order to spread the word about its effectiveness in my case. It is not currently prescribed to Type I’s because there is risk of

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
