I've been on Metformin & Glimepiride for 8 1/2 years. My A1c had been in the low 6's until about 2 years ago when it got to the low 7's. Nothing helped - even Levemer. My doctor added Jardiance to my scripts in Feb. Just got my 1st quarterly blood work. My A1c went from 7.2 to 6.5! My bg rarely goes over 135 unless I eat something that I shouldn't. Sometimes I go for days without going over 100. E...
I got enrolled in the savings program and it would cost me $77.00 every month, cant afford that and it is with the savings card too!! So I actually never got started on it, physician prescribed something else.

Was on metformin and pioglitizone. A1C was a little high, so doctor removed the pioglitizone and added jardiance. Now my A1C is even higher than it was. Doc says we are going back to the original prescription.

I haven't gotten any UTIs or Yeast infections. I have been taking this medication for about 18 months along with a few others. I started this one at 10mg but was moved up to 25mg after a few months. My blood sugar rarely goes about 110 even when eating a large carb-heavy meal. My a1cs are below 6!

Drink at least 48 pints of water a week. Dont take any water pills unless prescribed by a doctor or you will be dehydrated and your kidneys will hurt like hades.

My a1c went from 12 to 6.0 now at 6.8 Happy about that. I am male but have had trouble with yeast on my privates and my rearend. I keep the yeast under control with miconazole cream and miconazole lotrimin spray. After 3 years my body started to fight off the yeast and a quick spray with Lotrimin twice a week an I am good. Jardiance has also made my heart stronger and now my appetite is out of control and my sex drive is the same. My blood glucose was 400 when I was first diagnosed with diabetes. Now it seldom reaches 160. I dont think this medicine was meant for women with the yeast infection and the UTI. Just my opinion from what I experienced as a male. Make sure to wash your privates daily. Thanks Jardiance.Read More Read Less

I was on Jardiance for one and a half weeks and got the worst UTI that I've ever had. My sugars have been sky high and you never stop peeing! I would never recommend this drug to anyone! Do not take this drug!!

After taking this for less than 1 month, I have a UTI, yeast infection, excessive thirst and very frequent urination. Blurred vision, brain fog, dizziness as well. My glucose levels are higher than they have ever been. Looks like I'll go back to glyburide and deal with the hypoglycemia instead. I will never take Jardiance again!

Over the past 3-4 years my A1C has gone from 6.5 to 8.1 on metformin alone. Doc added januvia but didn’t do anything. Endocrinologist added 25 mg jardiance. So far my morning fasting bs has dropped anywhere from 40-60 points. No side effects yet, lost 2 pounds.

Took Jardiance for a couple months, it did lower my A1c below 7, but the side effects are just awful. About an hour after taking the med I was lightheaded and dizzy, to the point that it affected my ability to drive. Stopped the med and the symptoms went away. I’m working with my PCP now to find another option.

Took jardiance for about 2 months. Then felt lightheaded to the point that I made a trip to the ER by ambulance. Diagnosed as severely dehydrated. Was rehydrated and sent home. ( I was also on lasix for CHF) drank more fluids and 5 days later I experienced 2 shocks from my ICD. Back to ER. Found to have potassium of 2.9 causing Vtach. I am no longer taking jardiance but still having periods of lightheadedness. My doctors are not convinced it was the cause but I am and I only hope the adverse reactions will resolve.
