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.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
When one takes adequate dosage of drugs, plus follows a strictly controlled diet and does regular exercise, blood glucose does get controlled. Therefore, it appears your present treatment is not proper. I need to know following things for giving any suggestions: fasting & PP glucose levels, HbA1c%, present dietary pattern and extent of daily exercise. Looking at your weight and height it is clear that with a BMI of 28.23 kgs/Sq meter (normal < 23 kgs/S...more

Avoid taking lots of sweets which will help in controlling your blood sugar.
Follow advice of your Diabetologist.
No need to monitor blood sugar so frequently, because it increases anxiety. Fasting,pp and before dinner will suffice.
Once in three months get your HbA1c test done.

Dear lybrate-user,
the symptoms you have described shows that the person for whom you are asking needs to be evaluated physically. With persistent hyperglycemia with medicines there are high possibilities of secondary drug failure of your diabetes medicines and fair chances of ketosis. I personally feel that dizziness is not the symptom that can be treated by online consultation. It is advisable that you must consult a good diabetologist near you.
Take care.
