Started using 4 months ago, A1C 8.8. Just had blood work and my A1C is down to an amazing 5.5. I was already taking 850 mg Metformin twice a day and 10mg Glipizide XL. Only drawback has been mild yeast infection. I would recommend drinking plenty of water with this medication.

I am unable to tolerate Metformin so have been on insulin and Januvia in the past. My doctor switched me to insulin with Jardiance due to other medical issues. I have been able to lower my basal insulin dose drastically. My hard fought for, very slow weight loss has changed to pounds just falling off.

I have been able to lower my basal insulin dose drastically. My hard fought for, very slow weight loss has changed to pounds just falling off. I held on the starting dose due to vaginal discharge, ensuring that I would not be getting yeast infections prior to upping my dose. I did again experience a discharge with the higher dose but no infections and after a couple months on the new dose, it went away again without infections.

In view of all this, inspite of all the hype about this drug, I am stopping this drug and going back to Januvia. Very disappointing.

This medication has been a great addition to using insulin only. You have to make sure you drink water. A cup of coffee in the morning and not much else between doesn't cut it. Have to drink water.

Yes, you're "peeing" out sugar, so you need to make sure you're drinking enough and keeping clean and dry down below to prevent urinary tract infections. If you don't put the effort in to using the medication properly don't expect it to work well for you. It's keeping my sugars between 70 and 110 depending on what I'm eating and I feel great. Can tell that my sugar levels are MUCH MORE STABLE.
