Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. At 38 years your hba1c% should ideally be < 6.5% & fbg <100 mg & pp <150 mg.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Both jardiance (dapagliflozin) and canagliflozin have similar action as both belong to sglt - 2 inhibitor class of drugs. May I know the reason for changing from one to the other? If your physician has recommeded it then you may do so. Please give why the change is intended. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seem the details mentioned. Usually following any infection blood glucose levels do tend to go up, unless one takes all the required precautions in terms of diet and medications. In case of covid, if steroids are given during the treatment, then blood glucose bound to go up, because corticosteroids are known to increase blood glucose levels (they are diabetogenic).

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. You have just mentioned FBG levels, nothing about PP glucose and HbA1c%. Unless those values are known there is no way to give any suggestions. Plus there is no mention of your age. So please come back with following information : Age, HbA1c%, PP glucose, extent of daily exercise, dietary pattern and lipid profile, preferably in the private conversation. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
