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.

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.
