Off Metformin ON amlodipine. Any advice on what to expect

I had a health check at the gym and was told I was dehydrated (48%)
I told the nurse at my diabetes check and , after checking with the doc, I was taken off Metformin and put on amlodipine.
I was wanting to only take the jardiance I am prescribed as it is the most effective at bringing down my sugar.
What do I expect amlodipine to do?

Has anyone experienced this?

I had my stomach stapled 20 years ago as prevention for familial diabetes. My father was T1, mother T2 as well as all 4 of my sisters. At 59 I have now been diagnosed with T2. Finding it very hard to believe and finding it very hard to understand BS readings when I can hardly eat!! I will be seeing my PCP in a week but am very nervous about whether or not he will have any experience with my unique case.

Anyone else out there with the same parameters?

Thanks!!
