Diabetes, Type 2
"Been on 10mg Empagliflozin for just over a month and  I&#039;ve lost 21 lbs in that time.  I&#039;ve been on 800 calorie/day low carb diet too and have found it quite easy to do.  As a result I&#039;ve come off insulin and I&#039;m sure that&#039;s made it easier to lose weight.  Something I haven&#039;t seen anyone mention is fluid retention.  I suffered really badly from fluid retention in hot weather.  When the temperature goes up, I can put on 14 lbs in 48 hours and can then barely walk my legs and feet are so swollen.  Never found anything that really helped.  Just had to wait for weather to cool down again and swelling reduced.  Since I&#039;ve been on Empagliflozin, my body is properly drained all the time.  Fabulous!  Love this drug. HbA1c good too."
