For Diabetes, Type 2 "I started on Jardiance on January 21st 2022 and within 3 month's lost 40 lbs and A1C went from 11.4 to 7.7 which is great. I am a male 59 weighed 300lb now 254lb and as long as I keep active it keeps taking weight off. I eat much less with a smaller stomach. Only side effect is after three months I started peeing every time I stood up or heard water running. Way to many trips to the bathroom, but that's ok because its flushing my body."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "Started Jardiance 3 months ago. Just had my first follow-up appointment with my doctor yesterday. A1c dropped from 8.0 to 6.6, fasting BG dropped from 155 to 104, lost 12 pounds and blood pressure was slightly lower. No side effects other than urinating more than I used to. Also drinking more water so I'm sure that's part of it. Also taking Metformin but it seemed to stop working after about 6 months so my doctor added Jardiance. Feel great and couldn't be happier...25 pounds to go."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "I got on this med this past January and started losing weight and it wasn't until I studied it and understood what it does (with Metformin) where it made sense. Also, I have always been prone to UTI's and started taking a cranberry supplement and also started wiping down there with a clean wipe,it gets all the sugar out of there. Hope this helps."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "I’ve been on Jardiance for 6 months. It’s lowered my blood sugar levels significantly and I’ve had none of the joint pains that others have mentioned. The constant itching and thrush can be off putting but I found when I ate lower carb the symptoms decreased. Also I was given a tip to use water wipes or a flannel with water to wipe after urinating as this washes away any residual sugar in ‘that’ area. It’s helped dramatically. Also I order Clotrimazole online very cheaply and use when needed to keep on top of a flare up. When I eat badly the urinating and itching is worse as there’s more sugar to pee out. I’ve lost 10 Ibs and my hba1c went from 67 to 52 within weeks. Overall this drug has worked well for me and I shall continue on my 25mg dose. Just work with the drug ! Luckily I am in the UK and receive this medication free."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "At 10 mg my HbA1c dropped an entire point however I have only lost a lb or two over 3 months. Now I am up to 25 mg. I have dry mouth and peeing all the time. I take low dose Lisinopril to protect my kidneys. I am still on 2000 mg metformin daily. I weigh 160lbs and would love to drop 40-50 lbs."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "I was started on 10 mg dose approximately 3 weeks ago. My glucose levels have improved from 200-300 on Metformin 2000 mg daily to 120's - 150's with the addition of Jardiance 10 mg. Now she wants me to increase my dose of Jardiance to 25 mg daily with the Metformin. I took my first 25 mg this morning and am nervous ! I do urinate more but drink lots of water and diet green tea. I have not weighed so I don't know about weight loss yet. I have not had any problem with UTI or yeast infections. I did when my glucose level was higher. From what I know, this medication removes glucose from your system and eliminates it through the kidneys and bowel. Hence you have the increased risk for candida. If I have any problems I'll let you know!"

For Diabetes, Type 2 "Lost about 8% of body weight (20 lbs) initially. I'm going into month 3 and I'm not sure this is reducing my sugar enough. Big issues with various infections, like 5 in the past 2 months. It does also seem to CAUSE sugar cravings, as the last reviewer mentioned."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "Terrible drug. Made me pee every 90 mins, which is not good as I am a driver on the road all day. Constant back pain. Having to get to 2/3 times during the night to go to toilet, causing lack of sleep. Negatives far outweigh positives. I stopped taking it after 3 months."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "I have been taking a combination of Jardiance 25 mg daily and Janumet 50/100 BID for about a year and 1/2. I have lost 70 pounds....was 191lb pounds now 121 pounds. Due to weight loss, Alc is now 5.8, down from 10.8. I have recently stopped the Janumet finding I no longer need both medications. Considering cutting Jardiance dose in half as well. However since stopping Janumet I have gained about 5 pounds recently..which is fine because 121 pounds was too thin for my medium size frame. I am hoping I can stop medications altogether. I highly recommend Jardiance!"

For Diabetes, Type 2 "I started 10 mg on Dec 19th and started a severe yeast infection Dec 25 and then into a Bacterial vaginitis. I have been treating this now since Dec 26th, and stopped the med with my doctors orders. I will never take this again. I have spent a fortune on OTC meds, with poor results. Now doing steroid creams and will start antibiotics next week. This has been miserable and my sugars are up because of the infections. Just be careful with these new meds."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "My 37 year old son is a Type I diabetic-totally insulin dependent. His endocrinologist put him on 10mg Jardiance last Saturday. We were initially impressed that his sugar readings were better but Wednesday night he started vomiting uncontrollably and in severe pain all over. We rushed him to hospital. His kidneys were not functioning. He went from ER to ICU with keto acidosis.. I read all over the internet that this medication is NOT for Type I diabetics. When we called the doctor,he blamed his condition on SCUBA diving which is ridiculous. We always SCUBA and he has never had a problem as he monitors his diabetes carefully. He got sick hours after SCUBA diving. ICU kidney specialist said he should never had been put on this medicine."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "I haven't read through all the review, but OMG let me tell you mine! Ketoacidosis twice within 2 months and Hospitalized once for 48 hours in the ICU then just a week and a half ago in the ICU for 8 Days and had to have surgical procedures due to ANOTHER side effect you would never wish on your worst enemy which is the GENITALIA INFECTION!!! Are you kidding me? NOPE... I have to have this issue incised, drained and packed with gauze each time and keep getting this very often. This last time in the hospital they did that procedure and also had to go back for debriment of the tissue that had started dying! The doctors there took me off of Metformin and said to never take that again due to effects and linked to other things and I now removed myself from JARDIANCE. I have an Endocrin appointment coming up to go over other option because my life is at stake and we are speculating it's from JARDIANCE!"

For Diabetes, Type 2 "Ive been on Jardiance for a couple days. I just learned im not a true type 1 diabetic and am technically something called Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) Diabetic. I've taken insulin for the past 25 years and this the first time taking an oral medication. I started out with a1c of 5.7 and blood sugars are still between 80-115. I do eat healthy but still have carbs time to time in moderation. Haven't noticed any side effect symptoms other than peeing more which is fine. I do drink a lot of fluids by day so I haven't noticed increased thirst."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "I started taking this medication Jardiance due to diabetes type 2 after blood sugar with insulin 18units, Metformin and Apo-Glickazide did not help bring it under control, although I was being very careful, always hungry. Within 1 week I have a yeast infection down there, am so swollen I can barely wipe after urinating. Also drinking lots of water, up frequently at night to urinate. Will try unscented wipes and Vitamine C. If it doesn’t help, I’m stopping this medication. We don’t need additional health problems."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "Jardience has improved my ability to control my diabetes. Jardience is easy to take because it is in pill form instead of a shot. The problem I experienced while taking Jardience is a monthly yeast infection. This month, August 2017, I acquired a yeast infection and a severe case of vulvitis. My usual dose of diflucan improved my vulvitis and yeast infection but symptoms still persist. This level of discomfort has made me consider discontinuing Jardience."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic 6 years ago and the first year with diet, exercise, and metformin brought my A1C down to 5.7. I was taken off the metformin to see if I could still maintain the A1C without medication, that was not the case, and was put back on the medication. The metformin has not been as effective within the last year, and my A1C and weight have been steadily increasing into the type 2 diabetes range. I started Jardiance 25 mg 11 days ago alongside 500 mg of metformin. I can tell you that I can physically feel the difference and I have already lost 8 pounds. I have a follow-up in a couple of months and will have more updates. I have had no side effects so far."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "This medicine did decrease my blood sugar but what it also did was make me continually thirsty. For the amount of decreased sugar for me it was not worth continuing. I did not lose weight with this medicine either. I gained weight and my diet is very good for type 2. I did not get yeast infections or kidney infections. My skin was severely dry as was my hair. I stopped this med and am just on metformin ."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "This drug nearly killed me. Started at 10 mg a year ago, moved to higher dose shortly after beginning. Was all good for the last year. 3 weeks ago I developed a sore spot beneath my scrotum on a Tuesday, by Friday I was in ER in need of life saving surgery to remove infection from Fournier's gangrene. They told me if I was not as healthy as I am and waited the weekend to see primary care Dr... I would have died from septic shock. The ER docs diagnosed in 20 mins, said it not rare and Jardiance was the cause. Fourniers gangrene has a 20 to 50% mortality rate, not a word about it from primary care. ER and surgical team says they see at least a case per week. This drug and the 3 other brands that work similarly are very dangerous. Diabetes is a money maker, they make more money when we are sick. Drug companies and doctors have lawyers protecting them......nobody but ER doctors, surgeons and nurses protect the patient once the damage is done. Get off these drugs."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "I spent seven days of awfulness with Jardiance. I took the 10mg tab (lowest dosage). I was running to the bathroom about every 10 minutes, so often that I could not leave home. Had to get up numerous times during the night which interfered with sleep. My lady parts felt like fire. I drank tons of water but still felt dehydrated. My sugar readings dropped to around 80 and I felt weak all the time. I itched all over and also had very loose bowel movements. I would not recommend this drug. It is awful."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "Four months on Jardiance 10mg (replaced Januvia which wasn't working for me) reduced my A1c from 7.6 to 6.4... average blood sugar reading dropped from 170s to 120s. I did initially experience much more frequent urination- but it seems to have levelled off. I dropped 7 lbs which is too much for me. I weighed 154lb when I started on Jardiance. So far, I'm pleased with the results but will be careful to maintain my weight."
