Hello, Thanks for the query.
It is difficult give a clear answer whether a SGLT - 2 Inhibitor can be added to existing therapy withput knowing full details of the case. I need to know the following: Fasting, PP glucose levels, HbA1c%, weight, height, serum creatinine & urea levels, eGFR and whethe there is microalbuminura. If kidney function is compromised or eGFR is low, then certain drugs can not be sude including metformin and SGLT-2 Inhibitors. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. Following are my observations: 1) her hba1c% is too high, similarly fasting and pp glucose levels are also very high. This suggests her present treatment is not working well. There is an urgent need for up grade.
2) with a bmi of 31.45 kgs/sq meter, she is already in grade 1 obesity, carrying an excess of over 20 kgs. This itself is a hindrance in achieving better glucose control.
