Weekness and uneasiness
My mother was diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes mellitus and is currently on medication dapagliflozin 10 mg+ metaformin 500 mg. Her fasting blood sugar revolves around 60 to 122 now. But she is feeling a lot of weekness in body... Not able to get up in morning and also feel uneasy most of times. Sometimes morning blood sugar was noticed even around 60.. Can it be because of the side effect of above medicine.. can we stop/reduce this medicine?
Thanks in Advance.

Hi., I can understand your concern.
If she's taking dapagliflozin metformin combination twice a day, she can make it as dapamet morning only and night metformin 500 only.
Take tab Tayo m morning after food for one month which will boost her immunity.
