I've been on Metformin & Glimepiride for 8 1/2 years. My A1c had been in the low 6's until about 2 years ago when it got to the low 7's. Nothing helped - even Levemer. My doctor added Jardiance to my scripts in Feb. Just got my 1st quarterly blood work. My A1c went from 7.2 to 6.5! My bg rarely goes over 135 unless I eat something that I shouldn't. Sometimes I go for days without going over 100. E...
I got enrolled in the savings program and it would cost me $77.00 every month, cant afford that and it is with the savings card too!! So I actually never got started on it, physician prescribed something else.

I was stuck in the low 7s for A1c readings over a year. Jardiance has lowered my fasting to a consistent 120 and afternoons / evenings to 100 range. This is just the first two weeks though. For those concerned about drinking / urinating, I'll just say if it helps prevent kidney stones (you DO NOT want a kidney stone) by increasing your water intake, etc., than that's just another added bonus.

I was on Metformin 2000 daily..BS was around 130 fasting...I used this drug for 2 weeks and had to stop. It made me urinate every hour night or day and awoke me in sleep every hour. I drank excessive water and had urges to add salt a whole lot to my diet. My urine was always pale or clear and not natural. My urinary track seemed irritated most of the time. This drug as a stand alone did nothing more than Metformin...

My A1C has gone from 7.4 to 6.9 while using this drug in just six weeks. In addition, I have dropped about 8 pounds without trying and I am not obese. My doctor believes that the drug may continue to bring down my A1C even further.

I have been on this for two weeks and my blood sugar has lowered to the lower 100's from 300. I do find myself drinking more and urinating more. That would be the only side effect.

After 8 weeks, I seem to need less attention to what I eat (within reason) and more attention to when I eat.

I think in combination with Glyburide/Metformin it works and lowered my sugar level from 270 down to 170 this morning
