    I’d like to know from anyone who’s on this if it works for you how long did it take for you to notice improvements in your blood sugar I just got out of the hospital feb 6 2023 after going for a uti and got admitted for diabetic ketoacidosis I’ve had uncontrolled blood sugar for a while im what’s referred to as a bad diabetic in the fact that im bad with my taking my insulin as prescribed I always get frustrated when I don’t see good numbers even though i eat properly and take meds properly then I stop taking insulin I really need to get back on track to im just wondering if this pill is worth bringing up to my doctor when I go see her on feb 14

    Thanks for this amazing and true video. I was hospitalized and in a severely bad condition with a sugar reading of 107 , I went into a diabetic coma.
    My levels weren't coming down with the insulin and metformin alone. It only started coming down the day I started Forxiga 10mg once daily.
    My side effects are sweating, occasional headaches, light headedness and occasional cramps. These are however not severe.
    Overall, FORXIGA / FARXIGA is an amazing medication.

    Used to think that the repetitive Farxiga commercials were annoying, hokey, and just plain stupid. Not anymore. This medication is literally saving my life. Without it I might not have had too much time left because my edema was out of control.

    My doctor prescribed me Forxiga 3 weeks ago and my GFR decreased by 5ml instead of 2ml previously. Is it expected ? How long does it keep decreasing the GFR ?

      I can understand your concern, but the answer really lies in your statement, the word “rare”. I’d say discuss your concerns with your doctor and let him or her guide your decision, but once again “rare”. Wishing you the best.

    Hey Doctor! I’ve been having a rumbling stomach and burning sensation after eating in the stomach. The acidity has caused my tongue to have a thick white coating for 3 months now. What should I take to stomach the burning in my stomach, indigestion, excessive flatulence, dark brown stool and acid reflux cough. What can I buy? My stomach is making noises right now!

    After taking Farxiga my creatinin level increased and my urine sodium, potassium and chloride went below normal levels. Farxiga did not have any positive effect on my proteinuria either therefore I would say it is more harmful than helpful for kidneys.

      @@scarletmacaw in my case Farxiga has done more harm than good, of course, I am also non-diabetic and took Farxiga for kidney disease. If you are diabetic Farxiga helps reduce your glucose by opening your kidney filters. At the same time do not forget that the more glucose you lose the less insulin you pancrease must produce and in the long term this will create its own problems
