Comment:
On med for over a year. Mfg coupon made cost affordable as ins. would not cover. A1c went from over 10 to 6.4 in combination with other therapies. I have BPH, so trouble peeing anyway. No yeast (yet). Have discontinued glimepiride and Tresiba. Farxiga is a wonderful drug for me!

Comment:
My A1C went down to 6.0 while on this and I lost over 50 lbs. I got the initial prescription and a six month supply while visiting the Philippines. I stopped using it as in the US the cost without insurance was over $2,500 for a 3 month supply. I will buy next time I go overseas and have money left over... The savings card is still too expensive an option.

Switched from Invokana due to prescription insurance requirement. Morning fasting blood sugars were pretty good but yeast infections were unbearable so I discontinued.

I seemed to binge a lot on sweets while I was on this drug. I stopped taking it because I couldn't afford it and have eaten a lot less sweets since I have stopped.
