These are the notes I have:

insulin is safe

Semaglutide (Ozempic) - treats Type 2 diabetes is safe

Riomet (metformin, Glucophage, Glumetza) - treats diabetes causes RLS in some

Mounjaro injection - used to treat adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. to improve blood sugar - can't find anything

Jardiamet - treats type 2 diabetes and protect your kidneys and heart. It is a combination of 2 medicines, empagliflozin and metformin, lowers your blood glucose - metaformin causes RLS in some

Glyxambi - a prescription medication containing two medicines, empagliflozin (JARDIANCE) and linagliptin (TRADJENTA). GLYXAMBI can be used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes, Can't find anything

Empagliflozin (Jardiance) - an antidiabetic medication used to improve glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes

Discuss these with your doctor.

The cause of your pre diabetes is also one of the main causes of your RLS so what you should be diong is eliminating your diabetes. Stop eating processed food which is high in refined carbohydrates and causes spikes in blood sugar (this includes all refined sugar and starch like bread cakes and biscuits). Get yourself a copy of 'The Pioppi Diet'.
