I have been on this for a month... So I can't say what my A1C is... It was only 7 when I started... Down from 9.7 3 months ago...but, I did get a slight yeast infection the first week, but I really wanted to keep taking this, because it enables me to take less insulin before meals because it keeps my numbers down to around 100... So my Dr prescribed 3 of the pills for yeast infection and they took it away and I have had no more problems with that. My numbers are still great, for me, and so far minimal side effects. I do have some pains off and on in my kidneys, but nothing major. Yes, I am going to the bathroom more, but that's not a big deal. I eat low carb... As much as I can, I'm not perfect... But I don't drink anything but water and occasionally unsweetened tea. I think, for me, this is working well because I don't eat tons of sugar, bread or starches...so yea... My diet is boring, but I do have days where I eat things I shouldn't, just not everyday. I am also losing weight now, about 3 weeks after starting... I have lost 7 pounds since I started, which was probably just water retention. So, I am sticking with this because the results are worth it for me. I can't take metformin because it reacts with my depression medicine, so this is the alternative for me. I also take long lasting and fast acting insulin to manage my type 2.

I am pre-disposed to Gout, hereditary reasons, so I am careful always and take 100mg Allopurinol.

I am pre-disposed to Gout, hereditary reasons, so I am careful always and take 100mg Allopurinol. After taking this drug in one year I had the most gout attacks, and most serious, debilitating gout attacks I have ever had in my life, not just in my feet but in my knees. One knee was so swollen for 3 months that colchicine was not even helping. Uric acid counts went through roof and had to go on 300mg allopurinol, did not help. Was getting gout attacks for no reason, nothing dietary could be linked. I could not wait to get off this drug, and within 3 months of stopping, my uric acid levels returned to normal/low. My Dr said probably because of competition in my kidneys between the drug making them work on the sugar, it was letting the uric acid get out of control. Beware of this and similar drugs they are pushing on TV especially to remove sugar through the kidneys, especially if you have hereditary gout.

The yeast infection started the 2nd day. my sugar began staying high for hours after i ate, did nothing for me except to make me unable to pee much and heartbeat was rapid, and I had to fast for hours for my sugar to come down, I guess it did opposite for me than what it was suppose to.

I have been on Farxiga now over a year. My HBA1C went from 9.3 to 7.0 so far. Everytime I get checked it lowers. I have had no side effects.
