Prostate Cancer Patients Shouldn't be so Quick to Dismiss Metformin (despite some contrary opinions on Advanced Prostate Cancer forum)
([i]Note this study didn't include patients with prostate cancer. I post it to provide an alternative to postings here that discourage use of Metformin by prostate cancer patients. Metformin strengthens your immune system, reduces inflammation, moderates glucose levels, and provides resistance against

Tinnitus
For the last twelve months I have been taking entresto, eplerenone, dapagliflozin and bisoprolol the combination of which have been of huge benefit. However one thing I have noticed over that period is the arrival of tinnitus. Am I alone in this?

Nephrologist Visit
I saw the nephrologist today and am so glad that I did. First, she is a total sweetheart and spent a lot of time asking questions and really listening to the answers. Then she spent time telling me what she thinks happened and what she thinks will happen in the future. Everything was positive and

Hi there, I’m on 9 different medications: Dapagliflozin, Bisopropolol, Aspirin, Clopidogrel, spironolactone, warfarin, atorvostatin, lanzrapole and ramipril and I’ve been taking them since late April following a HA.

PCOS and insulin resistance
Hi I'm new, first post. I've had issues with a raised Hba1c for many years. After asking over and over, as I'm healthy weight and eat well, could it be linked to any other health condition, and being told no, finally after much research I've been diagnosed with PCOS. I've seen a specialist as

Dapagliflozin - Blood sugar problem.
Hi folks. Firstly thanks for listening and hopefully replying. Had a difficult week. Been on Dapagliflozin 10mg (Forxiga) since April 2021 without issues. I am not diabetic and it is used as a drug for heart failure. It does take glucose out of blood into urine. Cardiology always tell me how great

SWITCHING TO INSULIN INJECTION FROM ORAL
As a Type 2, I have been managing my fasting sugar level of around 120 since the late 90s very successfully by following the devices of my USA-qualified Endocrinologist. My regular diet centered around LCHF with Diamicrone 80 twice a day. Covid-19 changed my whole system. After taking the 2nd dose

Strange smell
Since I started on the drugs below, I seem to have a strange smell constantly in my nostrils. My wife says she can't smell anything. This strange chemical type smell is apparent in my pee too ( at least to me!) I'm due to see my HF nurse on Friday, but has anyone ever experienced this? I was diagnosed
