I was prescribed this by the VA about 2 months ago to use alongside Metformin and Glipizide. Lowered my blood sugar levels plus lost 4-5 pounds within s month. Only side effect is frequent urination. I am very happy with it.

Much lower insulin requirements and significant weight loss. Always thirsty on this medication and I drink about a gallon a day now. Very satisfied with the medication.

The first week I took Jardiance I experienced weakness and ached everywhere.(Flu like symptoms) I did go to the restroom frequently which was expected.

Stopped Jardiance after the 1 week to see if symptoms would go away and they did. Decided to give it another try I had the same weakness and ached everywhere but worse the second time. Stopped the medication on a Saturday and by Sunday felt better except for my stomach hurting when i ate. A month later I am still having a few stomach issues but they are few and in between. I wouldn't recommend this medication. My blood sugar was higher each time that I took it.

Jardiance caused high ketones which was affecting my overall health and had to discontinue.

I was stable on Actos, but my P.A. was pressured to change me to Jardiance. Right away I started urinating more and my urine had so much sugar in it my slo-flow toilet kept growing fuzzy things. I lost 3-4 lb right away. By 3 months, I was hungry all the time, urinating at night, I lost 4 more lbs, my blood pressure rose and my A1c rose.

I was stable on Actos, but my P.A. was pressured to change me to Jardiance. Right away I started urinating more and my urine had so much sugar in it my slo-flow toilet kept growing fuzzy things. I lost 3-4 lb right away. By 3 months, I was hungry all the time, urinating at night, I lost 4 more lbs, my blood pressure rose and my A1c rose. I was using Flonase for allergies and developed nasal yeast (side effect of Flonase which never happened before) which has led to chronic sinusitis and obstructed airway sleep disorder and further hypertension. As soon as I stopped the Jardiance, all symptoms except for the sinusitis resolved. It took another year for the sinusitis to be discovered and another 6 months for surgery to open my sinuses. Now my respiratory issues are resolved, Actos is controlling my diabetes, but my blood pressure remains out of control. (Only been 2 months since the sinus surgery.) Jardiance is bad news and I get angry whenever I see the ads promoting it.
