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.

Usha ji, Thanks for the query.
Majority of the medications used in treating diabetes are quite safe. So you can use these without any worry. Since there is absolutely no information given about important things like fasting, PP glucose, HbA1c%, height, weight, extent of daily exercise and diet pattern, no further comment can be made. Thanks.
