Updaate from a month ago. I have lost a total of 27 lbs as of today, it is my 10th week on jardiance 10 mgs, plus lower carb and 2 meals a day. my carb tolerance is not great, but improving. my blood pressure is better and this medication is working for weight loss and my a1C went from 7.4 in June, to 6 . my morning fasting sugars were in double digits, now they are 5.5 or so (Canadian, or 100 US.) still have 30 lbs or so to lose. thumbs up for Jardiance!
My mom's on it for her heart... AND SHE HAS A HEALTHY DIET! So it's not always about a "DIET" not everyone...uhhh nevermind I don't want to be called a body positivity nut soooo... 5heart attacks and 2strokes with a little congestive heart failure sprinkled on top later you get JARDIANCE! Now if you all will excuse me, my mother and I gotta get to the gym! It's the main one of very few things that we both not only enjoy but ALSO enjoy doing TOGETHER! 😉🙂 So... gotta go! It's mother and son time now ☺️
@@sychophantt that's a thoughtless comment. As one ages, it may not matter how well you eat, or how little you eat, if you are a Senior your body doesn't process things as it used to.
I'm a pharmacy cashier who was curious why people were spending so much money on those pills and so I had to look it up thank you for explaining how it works.
Jardiance has not been my favorite med for lowering blood sugar. Peeing sugar gives me a topical yeast infection every single day, very uncomfortable. Last year I decided to take the bull by the horns and eliminate virtually all added sugar from my diet. My a1c is down to 5, and my triglycerides, cholesterol & all that stuff is where it should be too. I developed a kind of flashing in my peripheral vision apparently related to my sugar going down, and the endo reduced my insulin (long term once a day). Eye stuff is improving, but still happening. Last endo visit, she reduced the insulin again and I plaintively asked if Jardiance could be reduced. Went from 25 to 10, and life is better, though still not unaffected - which surprises me bc there's so little sugar (only like the sugar in broccoli) going in. If women taking Jardiance are all getting yeasty and injured because of being awash in sugar, that seems like not a great solution.
I’m very interested in your comment about the flashing in your peripheral vision. As I was gradually increasing the dosage of Ozempic, I had a number of optic nerve migraines. I occasionally get one but I was now having an attack two to four times a week. No pain, just the aura for about 30 minutes. Had to sit down and wait it out. However, since the dosage has evened out, they have gone. But your comment is the first one I’ve seen that relates to eye side effects.
@@johnlee-fg8ij Hi John. I wish I could offer more info but I haven't got it. My ophthalmologist can't tell me what this phenomenon is called, but since it began within days of my eliminating sugar, she directed me to my endo to have my diabetes meds adjusted. My endo also cannot tell me what is happening with my eyes, but from my lab numbers decided to adjust my meds, and that has caused the phenomenon to happen less frequently (still every day) and less largely (it used to be like pails of milk were being poured down my peripheral vision. Now it's more like soap bubbles popping. I only get to see the endo every 4 months (I live in a rural area of New Hampshire and we are limited on medical staff) so it will be a slow process to get this adjusted for
jardiance or any other type of drug in this class is bad for lots of things. I am shocked you would be on a diet to lower a1c and whatnot and the doctor would lower insulin before tkaing you off this devils drug.
@@claremacdonald3261 Clare, I dont know your age, but anyone over age 50 and especially over 60 will get a Posterior Vitreous Detachment in one or both eyes eventually. in most people they may never notice it, but for me, I got flashes of light for a few days, and a ton of floaters. This is all part of aging and is completely normal, but you ought to go see an eye doctor to make sure the vitreous (gel in eyeball) doesn't get stuck and pull on the retina. fyi
Jardiance is great for weight loss…im a type 2 diabetic and have lost over 150 pounds since taking jardiance with very minimal exercise…but def have to eat right
As a diabetic who has had great results with glp1 meds, i am having trouble getting the correct dose for the 2nd time in 6 months due to shortages. Promoting the off-label use of these meds strictly for weight loss is undoubtedly making the situation worse.
No doubt. But, with Wegovy, Saxenda, and Zepbound all on the market now, and indicated for weight-loss (not Type 2 diabetes), that should be less and less of an issue going forward. IOW, diabetics will have their particular meds, and ppl with obesity will have theirs. Now it’s just up to Big Pharma to make enough of all of those. 😯
The things I worry about taking this is the side affects like uti, yeast infection. I am a diabetic and my doctor prescribed jardiance for me but I am still debating to take it or not
There’s other meds controlling glucose. So overweight should get priority. There’s no other meds control Hunger. Reason they don’t get priority congress stupid laws. I have several diabetic friends do not take glp1 and control diabetes. So maybe you should look at other options.
I have been persevering with this med, along with lower carb and glumetza. in 5 weeks I have lost 14 lbs. I know I would have lost only half that without it. my only carbs are from dairy, berries, and veggies. I was not eating often enough which caused ketosis. Now I eat greek yogourt and fruit and 1/4 fiber cereal for breakfast, only a fat free latte and a homemade biscotti for lunch, and meat and low carb veg dinner. I am post menopause 64 and on HRT. it works!
I just read an article that you should not eat low card and high fat or keto while on Jardiance because it causes Ketoacidosis...Im not saying u are on those diets but check into it
@@appleredhead3654 thanks for the concern, I am not keto, just lower carb, necessary because of diabetes. I eat carbs, just have to keep it under 30 grams per meal so I dont have to go on any insulin. Cheers!
I’ve been on jardiance close to 4 years. It seems to be helping with my kidneys since my protein was really high, and now that I’m with ozempic as well, my protein has gone down. Before 400, now it’s 103; recent lab work. It does give me yeast infections but not as bad like how it used to be and I have noticed that my hands have become extremely dry since being on it 😔
Sorry to hear that friend. But it is good to hear it's helping with your kidneys. I always recommend something with glycerin for moisturizer. Costco has glysomed which is a great product
Maybe try getting a bidet if you don’t have one already. I saw another video that suggested washing after to reduce yeast infections. Also make sure you are drinking enough water.
I’ve been on ozempic compound for 5 months. I’ve experienced worsening fatigue very regularly. Are you hearing other similar stories? Btw, I’ve had a full blood work up and all is well. Also, no diabetes. Thank you.
If it's the compounded form there has been reports of impurities that could be harmful. If it is true ozempic it is likely due to you not eating enough protein and other nutrients.
Thank you for the video, I'm seeing my Dr. Today and she wan't to put me on this. I binge eat even though I fast 12 to 16hrs a day and the last thing I need is an increase in hunger hormones.
get used to the feeling of hunger and believe that the feeling is your body burning fat. being hungry won't kill you on a day to day basis! after 2 weeks of only eating once or twice a day, I can do it no problem. increase fiber, you will stay satiated for longer. you can cultivate willpower!!!!
I am now on Jardiance, 10 mg plus glumetza 500. I eat low carb anyway but gained about 30 lbs from eating too much and being sedentary. Well my doctor wants my A1C down as it climbed fro 6 to 7.4 in a year so she prescribed Jardiance along with the Glu. Is it supposed to put you in heavy Ketosis? becuase that is what it is doing to me, and I am already salt challenged, having to take potassium prescription pills and added salt, I think this medication is not good for me. I feel terribly weak on it. Better if I cut pill in half, and on half a pill, it brings my after meal sugar to under 5, which usually it is 8 or 9. this in in less than a week, so it does work very well! Mind you , I am riding my bike every morning, and only getting carbs from veggies. not sure if ketosis is what I want...Any thoughts anyone?
My A1c went from 7 down to 5.9 while on Ozempic (2mg per week), Metformin (1000Mg 2xper day) Rosuvastatin (40Mg 1xperday) and Jardiance (25mg 1xper day). I'm down 18lbs in 4 months and in the gym 3 times a week. I'm happy with the results with some minor side effects......HOWEVER, I'm reading a lot of concerning reports of Jardiance causing genital gangrene. The concerning reports are inundating with some reported deaths. Should I stop taking Jardiance?
If you don't have any symptoms your are good to go. It is an extremely rare side effect. More often people might get a UTI and once treated there are no issues or concerns.
For anyone that is thinking of taking Jardiance for weight loose, You will need to take Jardiance for the rest of your life. If you stop, the weight will come back on. Effective forms of weight loose is diet, exercise and fasting. Fasting works best if you can manage 16+ hours Dont be dependant on Jardiance.
Hello. My mom has been losing weight for a total of 5-6kg within 7months. She is on Jardiance 10mg. Now she's down to 47.5kg (from 57kg since she started Jardiance a year ago). She has good appetite too. Should we be concerned? We dont want her to have further weight loss 😢
I always recommend checking in with your health care team. She could increase her calories to a maintenance level; try out my calorie calculator! healthevolved.co/tdee-calculator/
@ you are so welcome! I started Jardiance last Friday, I take it with my other meds. My pharmacist told me about drinking water when I first started! Stay well!🙋♀️🏴🇨🇦
Me neither. I started taking Farxiga about a year ago and didn't really lose any weight while trying to do so. I fell off the wagon for a while and got refocused a few months ago. Now I am actually losing weight slowly, but Farxiga isn't really helping, and I just learned why in this video. I am doing the 5:2 diet but usually more like 4:3. I'm a pretty big guy, and men are allowed 600 calories on down days. I actually had been allowing myself about 900 calories and doing low carb (not Keto), thinking I had a few hundred calorie, and up to a 75 carb, advantage. My experiences were not confirming this, and now I know it for sure.
I'm afraid I have to disagree, I have always looked to better my health and been ignored for years. I would not say that one waits, but the doctors make you wait.
yes this drug is posion. I guess the good news is since my diabetes is worse my doctor wanted me on this so i went to a 2 meal a day mostly meat and a couple veggies and now my sugars in the morning was 109 instead of 200 plus I would never take this drug. its works great to lower sugar but its bad bad bad
