I said already that if you're continuing therapy on SGLT2s then a risk of genital fungal infection, a risk of renal failure, a risk of low blood pressure, and also a reduction in the oral therapies is advised, especially glucoside, by 20 to 40% if patients are initiated on HCLT2 treatment as continued therapy.

My experiences of stigma around having Diabetes.

Chris talks movingly about Stigma he has experienced around having Type 1 Diabtes as a young person and later. He tells a story from school where the schools arrangements for him to get his lunch first in the school hall led to painful comments from his class fellows. He also talks about more recent disapproving comments or impressions from people if he's seen to be drinking a can of Coke when his blood sugar is low. Chris explains that knowledge and awareness will improve these situations and draws parallels with his experiences of his parents moving from Wales into London and being 'other' to the norm.
