Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query. I have seen the query. Understand that you are on insulin mixtard 16 u, (once only or more number of times is not clear), tablet glimiperide 2 mg twice a day, tablet dapagliflozin 10 mg at night plus vildagliptin 100 mg once. You have mentioned only after food glucoses (169 mg), no mention of fasting glucose as well as hba1c%. Plus no other vital details like lipid profile, bp readings, weight and height. By saying you have lost 10 kg weight, nothing is clear because there is no mention of actual weight as well as height. Plus there is a need to know present dietary pattern, extent of daily exercise. So please come back with these details then I will be able to give some suggestions. Drug like dapagliflozin does help in reducing excess weight. Thanks.

Dear Mokarim, DAPAONE 10 mg tablet that you are taking can cause weight loss. If you were very overweight before starting this tablet the weight reduction may be of benefit for you. However if you are an insulin requiring young diabetic, you have to be careful with this medication as there is risk of complications like ketosis. Discuss these issues with your doctor and get his OK to continue with the tablet Regards Professor M S Seshadri

Dapaglifozin does helps reducing weight. But other factors are also important. You should mention your complete blood sugar profile and mention your height.
