For Type 2 Diabetes "Been on Jardiance now for 6 months. Have lost 21 lbs. Yes, you pee a lot and drink more, but it is well worth it. My A1C is 6.2. Got one UTI, then it went away. Just follow up with your doc, and you will be fine. I'm 60, and this is the first diabetic drug that has really helped me. Plus, the weight loss is an added plus."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Started this in addition to Trulicity with hopes to add to weight loss and lower sugars a bit more. I didn't lose any additional weight, but it did seem to lower sugar. However, after taking this for about a year, I started getting a yeast infection. I NEVER get them. I tried everything: prescription meds, creams, suppositories. Nothing worked to get rid of it. I was blistering, peeling, and bleeding. I also had a pretty constant UTI. I even used moist wipes per the doctor's order from day one to keep extra clean. At first, I thought it could be those, so I changed brands and even went to the ultra-sensitive ones. Then I thought to check here, and I'm so glad I did! After realizing it could be Jardiance, I went off of it and the infections stopped on their own with no other intervention! My doc tried to start again with a lower dose, but as soon as I started getting the first sign of infections coming back, I ditched it. Waiting on an appointment with an endo to see what's next."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Was on Jardiance for about a year. Greatly reduced my A1C, but had many recurring UTIs and yeast infections. Had a severe UTI that sent me into the ICU with sepsis. Due to repeated yeast infections, wound up with urinary candidiasis causing a fungal ball in the renal pelvis of my kidney. Will not touch Jardiance or any other SGLT2 inhibitor medication with a 10-foot pole."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Yes, it lowered my A1C. Yes, it lowered my blood sugar. But after 4 months of going from one UTI with vaginal yeast infection to another, I cannot stand those side effects anymore. I stopped it."
