What Causes Severe Headache While On Jardiance And Metformin?

I have just been put on Jardiance and I do take metformin. Today is my 2nd day on Jardiance as my BG readings were 250+. I am a type 2 diabetic. This morning I took one pill at 7am....it s now 10pm and I have a huge headache. I knew my BG was high. I just checked it and it s 220. Is it too early to take another Jardiance? I feel I need it. IT s been 15 hours.k

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
THE DOSE of jardiance is only one tab in a day. You can't take a second tablet with in 24 hrs. Don't make that mistake. If I was treating you, I would have put you on Inj Insulin till the blood sugar is under control.
