Date Added:1/18/2023      Sex: F     Age: 45
Reason: To lower A1C and Blood Sugar
Side Effects:

Definitely helps lower sugar, curb appetite. I had no real side effects initially. Then month 6-7 I had really achy joints and genital itching worse than any yeast infection I have ever experienced. I had to stop taking to solely because of that. Itching has eased up and is almost gone. I wish I had been able to stay on it. It seemed fairly effective otherwise.

Comments:

Additionally my cost with insurance until I meet my deductible is $560. So it is very expensive depending on the time of year and type of insurance you may have.

Side Effects:

Can feel dizzy at times, especially when it's very warm out and playing golf. No other side effects noticed. Lowered A1C initially (with Metformin), however, over the last year it's no longer having the desired affect. My doc suggested Rybelsus...we'll see.

Side Effects:

Increase of urine. Horrible joint pain I can hardly pick up a coffee cup, open a soda can, hold my iPhone, burning in my wrist, hands and fire arms. Sore on the side of my tongue very painful I can hardly eat. I am unable to get from my reclining chair and desk chair (at work) without all the pain. Over the weekend I was literally moving like a 80 yr old body because of the pain. As for improvement on sugar not much at all. I did let my Drs office know. I never miss work last Thursday 8-26-22 I had to leave early because I couldn’t take the pain. I am taking off 8-30-22 off to get labs done and see my Dr Immediately.

Comments:

The lady that suggested baby wipes after peeing it is wonderful it sure helped me. Baby wipes Pampers are good can be tworn into half at one side so you have twice as many wipes to use use wipes one side then fold in half use again then use toilet paper to blot down below. So far I have not gotten infected. Wipes for hands only also works. Thank you to the lady that posted the information..

Date Added:7/19/2021      Sex: F     Age: 52
Reason: Type 2 diabetes
Side Effects:

The constant trips to the bathroom started almost immediately. I was dehydrated. Started taking massive amounts of fluids but couldn't get it to stay in. Developed severe muscle pain. Several days later so fatigued I stayed in bed for the better part of 2 days. Tested positive for a UTI with severe pain in my side. Believe it may have settled in the kidney. Took myself off as it didn't really affect my blood sugars at all. I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy.

Comments:

Review 1 A.. I will never take another JARDIANCE tablet in my life. I was prescribed high dose Prednisone for nasal polyps 7yrs ago. Unknowingly my health deteriorated extremely whilst taking that drug and waiting for surgery. I nearly died. I had no idea that my blood sugar was so elevated. I never had a problem with blood sugar. Even when I had my 2 children. 2016 I took myself to hospital with a very swollen painful finger from a tiny scratch. The resus team was called to my bed twice that night. The poisoning effect of the Prednisone had deteriorated my health to near death. I required 3 surgeries and an extended time in hospital. As a result I was prescribed a cocktail of drugs for blood sugar, gut health, high blood pressure and bone density. My bone density is that of a 90yr old. I have lost 3inches off my height. I was imediately placed under the care of an endocrinologist. I know how blessed I am to live in Australia with a public health system that still provides care in such situations. I was not prescribed Jardiance at first. After approx 20 mths of continued outpatient care, they said it was a new drug and "we are seeing good results...you might get a slight yeast infection" Now after 2 years on Jardiance I constantly feel like I will never be free from pain and thrush and never be able to sleep through the night. I consistently get extreme yeast infections when I have never had a yeast infection in my life. Shortness of breath.
