A great explanation and I do take Jardiance but not for diabetic reasons but for the fact that I have some cardiac issues such as aortic valve stenosis, and some mitral valve incompetence. Now I live in Australia and being a retired Registered Nurse I know of the side effects and I have researched this medication a lot and I do take precautions such as a regular check of my blood glucose and ketone levels using the special dip sticks for same. As that gangrene issue I also take great care of my "personal" hygiene using plain and medicated soap (Cetaphil) to wash my genital and groin areas. I hope that anyone else reading this comment may like to do as I do to keep a check on those side effect issues.
What kind of diet plan did you follow while you were losing weight? I am just now on my second week on farxiga, and I'm doing calorie counting and intermittent fasting.
Was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in September 2020 after routine 6 month blood work came back with glucose over 300 and A1C around 12. My doctor prescribed me 1000 mg Metformin twice a day morning and evening, along with 25 mg jardiance in the morning once a day, and 100 mg Januvia once a day in the morning. After just 4 months on this medicine regiment along with a lower card diet and a little more exercise my A1C lowered to 6.5 per my January 2021 blood work. In just a little over 4 months jardiance and januvia cut my A1C level in half. Have had minimal if any side effects from both of them for anyone interested in taking jardiance. Thanks for taking the time to create and post this informative about Jardiance. If you could also create and post one about Januvia like this one if you haven’t already that would be great. Have read in a few online blogs the possible long term side effects of Januvia like congestive heart failure etc. and the FDA warning they came out with a few years ago relating to that which concerns me just a little of course lol. Especially when I also take 20 mg lisinopril twice a day for hypertension which keeps my blood pressure low and in check, but with a prior history of hypertension for the last few years in myself and a family history of hypertension the possible long term side effects of Januvia that I’ve been reading online concerns me. Thanks in advance for your help and thanks again for creating and posting this informative video about Januvia.
Thank you for this post. I'm presently taking 100mg of Januvia , after previously taking Janumet. The metaformin portion of that combo was causing me stomach issues. Now I am supposed to add 20mg of Jardiance and 20mg of Lipitor to my daily routine. So you helped settle my fears of Jardiance , but started fears of Januvia 😩 Just kidding , but I have been delaying my start date.
I was on Januvia and 850mg of metformin twice a day for years, but just a couple of weeks ago, my doctor replaced Januvia with farxiga. My doctor said that Januvia has turned out to not be that effective as a medication, plus I was complaining about the difficulty I was having losing weight.

Started ony 2 and month on jardirnce , makes me thirsty , I drink lots of water, but noticed my stool changes to dark, sometimes , what could be the cause, ? I'm type 2 take metforman and lisiniprol and other mefs, , any info out there???
I’ve started taking Jardiance 4 days ago for weight loss purposes and I’m experiencing bad lower abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting and frequent nausea. Is it the Jardiance causing this?
I just started mine a few weeks ago. I am definitely urinating more but only during the day daytime. Which I’m guessing is why they say take it in the morning. Is definitely helping me with my blood sugar levels. I have been checking my Keytone levels, and there are mild ketones present. I’ve actually lost a couple of pounds I figure that is water. My morning fasting blood sugars are improved by about 20 mg/dl. I am not taking metformin or any other diabetes medicine. I too, was a little worried to take it, and I finally decided I might as well try to see if it helps because the elevated blood sugars are deafly not good. So far other than peeing more than usual. No side effects. I have a question for the pharmacist. How does it help my heart.
I started taking it a week ago.. I’m also on metformin 1000 mg 2x a day. It has improved my readings as well especially my morning fasting. Not sure about the weight lost but it’s too early to tell.
Januvia, Foxiga, Jardiance & Glyxambi, I have taken one of those in last 7 years, my specialist changed to Jardiance (10 mg) again from Glyxambi without informing me recently, it might good for losing weight, as long as not Foxiga, it caused hair loss then switched to Jardiance 4 years ago, I am a type 2 diabetic. Thanks.
I have heart failure of 55% and my doctor gave that to me I peing all the time. Maybe those who don't carb count will be the one who experience the negative effects. I do keto by the way.
I went into the ER for congestive heart failure 18 months ago. I do not nor have I ever had an A1C over 6. Currently, it is 5.4 So taking Jardiance is primarily for protecting my heart. My concern is for the UTI and how to prevent that long-term.
One of the ways to mitigate UTIs or reduce the risk is to make sure you are well hydrated all the time, drinking lots of water, unless of-course you are on some kind of fluid retention.
Heart failure and fluid overload - hypervolemia - go hand in hand obviously. Drugs like Jardiance act to flush glucose from your system via your kidneys. Glucose however is an osmotic and thus = it takes fluid with it. So a potential side effect of Jardiance is lower blood pressure owing to = volume reduction as you are peeing more often losing fluid in the process. So your doctor is as you noted using a drug developed for blood sugar control as an apparent mechanism for controlling your circulatory system volume - much as other antidiabetic drugs like saxagliptin are being prescribed for "off-label" use vis a vis weight loss which is a common side effect of it. Reducing circulatory volume subsequently reduces cardiac workload putting less stress on your heart. So as noted by others you want to be careful with your fluid intake as glucose as well as being an osmotic is also a nutrient for = bacteria. So more glucose in your urine and thus bladder can be a breeding ground for bacteria unless you keep yourself flushed out - without risking fluid overload given your underlying heart failure. If your daily fluid intake is restricted you can try getting yourself on a toileting schedule. Urinate more frequently to try to empty your bladder and thus flush that glucose-rich urine out before it can buildup to allow bacterial growth and hence UTI's, Also be careful with personal hygiene to keep groin area clean to reduce bacterial presence. So long as you eat okay your risk for low blood sugar should be minimal. As with all things health it represents a balancing of risks. Your risk for possible fluid overload is greater than your risk for hypoglycemia from taking Jardiance. 🤔
Great video, was hoping to get some more knowledge about when eating say 100g of carbs, wich is 400 kcals, does any of those kcals get peed out? Or does the body use all the karbs?
My doctor has me on Jardiance because I have CKD and protainurea. She said it will help me pass less protein in my urine. Have you heard of this use in other patients?
I am a 53 Years old men, my Blood sugar in the Morning was7. 3, so i started to take Jardiance, after taking this Medication for 2 weeks, my Blood sugar is 7.7?????
Just been prescribed this my hba1c isn't worse than last time but hasn't got any better and isn't low enough I am worried about the urinating part. Is this a good way to go ?. I am on 2000mg of metformin a day ( Yeah I know that.s a lot )
Hey I’m also on 2000mg and I’m struggling with my a1c staying high too. Have you been taking jardiance? I’m prescribed FARXIGA but I’m thinking of switching if it’s less expensive.
@@actuallobster7044 Sorry i dont know costs im in uk its free for me .. Jardiance (10mg) took a while to get used to but its doing the job my levels are much lower .. just gotta wait another month before my next hba1c . I'm sure FARXIGA is similar.. (Good Luck!!)
@@funkidread that’s awesome that it’s free for you! I’m jealous of other countries when it comes to medical/drug costs. FARXIGA for me is about $600 (which looks like it’s about €500 - I’m probably wrong on this)and not affordable at all lol. Luckily I was able to qualify for a savings program and get assistance from my family. Praying we both are able to get off the MetFORMIN and other drug’s altogether one day :)
I started taking jardiance I weigh 127 lb I look like a skeleton flesh eating disease, I'm fading away, pee alots, now my muscles mass is weak, I m more of a vegetarian. Help!!!
My husbands on this medication for almost 2 months now & he has lost so much weight. He wasn’t overweight at all but his doctor told him to take it for some bs reason. We were wondering why he was losing so much weight so fast. I googled the side effects & now this video & reading the comments now ik this has a lot to do with it. 🤦🏻♀️
In very afraid cuz I just started th his med about 2weeks now.I looked at this by accident but I am having tenderness in my groin area I'm a guy.it looks like a little red tender s pot!looks like a cyst type thing!!I'm stopping the med asap!Anybody got any advise??
@@Devon_M. i stopped taking it!All these type of meds have a side effect that they can give you infections in our groin areas!Look it up,an it can get bad!!I was almost ready to go to hospital but it popped,nasty!!!I was on 10 mg too.
I been suffering big time I can't function I'm hearing my heart beat in my ear dizzy lightheaded my legs are so heavy can't walk feel like I'm just getting out of surgery can't see clear the only good thing my sugar level went down thanks but no thanks
The manufacturer recommends taking Jardiance in the morning, with or without food so if you are currently taking it in the morning before food and everything is fine and your doctor Is also OK with it, then no problem at all.
On perd du poids car on se déshydrate et ça n’est pas l’objectif principal de prendre un tel médicament et c’est pas normal que l’on m’ait mis ce médicament dans mon traitement alors que mon hémoglobine glyquée n’est pas trop importante je suis outré de voir que c’est les médecins qui ont des primes si ils le donnent à leurs patients que j’ai.
There is no restriction per se. People prefer to take it during the day as it makes some people urinate quite a bit. Taking it at night, therefore has the potential of disturbing your sleep as you may have to wake up to go to the bathroom.

I'm starting using jardiance tomorrow. Let's see what happens .
I have taken it for 2 days so far. Yup, we'll see what happens.
My doctor prescribed Jardiance because my kidneys have started to leak protein. Is this ok?
Plus the jardiance did nothing but constantly increase the blood sugar level to much higher levels .Which I did not have prior to taking this med .
Thanks for the video Dr. Buddy
