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.

Hi, I too had awful yeast infections, even after I stopped taking Jardiance. It did not lower my A1c, plus my right kidney was in allot of pain, until I stopped this medication. It is not for me.

One yeast infection in the beginning of use. Otherwise, it has worked well. Still waiting on A1c results and I lost a couple of pounds. Hope the generic works as well.

I took Jardiance for almost a year - while it lowered my A1C about 2 points and I lost some weight - the UTI's and yeast infections were just non stop. My insurance has just discontinued Jardiance and is now switching me to Farxiga - I am a bit leery after reading the reviews - might be getting into the same situation with it - but I am hopeful it works without those same side effects. If it weren't for the UTIs and Yeast infections it would be a great medicine.

While this medication helped me shed some weight, it gave me horrible, the most annoying and brutal yeast infections! I am going off this medication. So not worth having yeast infections

This drug was horrible for me. It caused urgent diarrhea. I started taking half the recommended dosage and that symptom was replaced by brutal yeast infections. Despite treatment for the yeast infections which persisted I told my Dr. I would no longer take it. My Dr. recommended Victozia which is working for me now. I'll never go back on Jardiance.

I have been taking Jardiance for just over a year - I have NOT experienced any side effects whatsoever - MORE importantly this drug has reduced my blood sugar levels to an average of 5 and has maintained this level quite incredible nothing else has worked previously - I have named Jardiance as the "diabetic wonder drug" although my Doctor keeps reminding me there is no such thing as a wonder drug - I disagree this is MY wonder drug - thank you Jardiance you have changed my life completely astonishing result.

Type 2 Dia for past 12yrs. Been on Jardiance for 1yr now. Best results I've had of the many drugs prescribed. I poorly control my eating and do little physical activity. Always been a "Big Guy" 6'1 previously 300lb , I've lost 40lbs since beginning Jardiance. My eyesight has greatly improved and my numbers are getting back to acceptable levels. Negatives: with my insurance price is still $1 per pill, urination increased but is not as bad as other describe. Seem to grave Milk (1 gallon/day)???

I use to suffer from general fatigue but after starting this medication, fatigue is gone. There is a lot of urination but I'm okay with that. I've lost weight without trying and can't wait to see what my A1C results are. I really like this over metformin. Metformin was not as effective. This is great for me.

I am a 49 y/o woman. A1C of 7.0 and already on Metformin 1000mg twice daily. Jardiance prescribed and not only did it NOT help lower my glucose, I have gotten my 2nd yeast infection in the 3 1/2 weeks that I have been on it. Too bad too, because, as promised by my doctor, I have lost 15lbs, without trying. It does make you thirsty and pee a lot, but I have always been ONLY a water drinker.

This drug has fewer side effects than others I have tried. It has controlled my blood sugar effectively and I can't wait until I get my bloodwork done to see if it has lowered my A1C as well.

This has helped me so much. I have back issues and have had to take cortisone for the pain. My diabetes was up the roof. I was put on this plus metaformin. This has been a blessing. My A1C is 6.7 from a 10.1 and along with excercise and eating portions I've gone from a size 12 to a size 7. Yes a lot of urinating but drinking water does that too.

This medication seems to provoke labored Breathing, Pneumonia type symptoms, and a hacking cough. This is the second go around as the first time I went to urgent care, they did testing found nothing and put me on an Antibiotic and later prednisone. after six weeks it cleared up and I tried it again, with the same symptoms which started approximately 1/2 hour after the dose. It also seems to cause Blurred vision within 1 hour after the dose. After any meal it seems to cause sluggishness, dizziness, and some chest discomfort. For all the bad symptoms it is not worth the degree in which it works. A 10 mg/Dl drop when the Bg is over 300 just is not worth not being able to move. Read More Read Less

Following chemo treatments for cancer my diabetes was pretty much out of control. My doctor recommended that I try Jardiance to get it back under control. I've been very happy with the results

I was stuck in the low 7s for A1c readings over a year. Jardiance has lowered my fasting to a consistent 120 and afternoons / evenings to 100 range. This is just the first two weeks though. For those concerned about drinking / urinating, I'll just say if it helps prevent kidney stones (you DO NOT want a kidney stone) by increasing your water intake, etc., than that's just another added bonus.

I was on Metformin 2000 daily..BS was around 130 fasting...I used this drug for 2 weeks and had to stop. It made me urinate every hour night or day and awoke me in sleep every hour. I drank excessive water and had urges to add salt a whole lot to my diet. My urine was always pale or clear and not natural. My urinary track seemed irritated most of the time. This drug as a stand alone did nothing more than Metformin...
