Thank you Doctor. I have watched many videos on this medication and yours is the BEST. Most comprehensive, informative, detailed and straight to point. Well done Doc..
Thanks a lot for this comment. Sometimes when I'm recording the videos I keep wondering “how far should I go before I start confusing everyone? ”. 🤭😂 So, this feedback is important to me. Thanks🙏👌
Thank you!!! This is the best video I've seen on Jardiance, explaining how it works! I've taken it for about 10 months, while it worked well at first, it's now giving me a lot of problems... Joint pain, horrible dehydration that's not resolved no matter how much water, I drink, hair falling out, and actually craving sugar. So I'm getting off of the drug. I don't feel well on it anymore. I tried stopping and restarting and within a few days all of the negative side effects resolved and then after restart, within a day, the horrible side effects returned especially the joint pain and excessive thirst. I believe my hair was falling out due to the excessively dry scalp from being so dehydrated. Very difficult to find on RUclips anything that talks about the negative aspects of the drug, so thank you! You should also talk in another video about the severe Black Box warnings of this drug and all the ones in this class. As you said, I'm going back to diet and exercise as number one and two. You need to be able to feel well enough to exercise and as I said this drug just started making me feel terrible.
You are very welcome. What you said can happen, especially if it's causing severe dehydration. But you should discuss with your doctor and check if it's not something else. Don't stop medications without discussing with your doctor. Thanks
@@Type-2-Diabetes Thank you. I'm actually doing the Carnivore Diet now and in just 5 weeks have dropped my blood sugars almost 100 points. Also, I feel so much better. I wish that everyone would promote diet over medication... Or at least alongside medication. I fully expect to be under the diabetic range within a month or so. My readings fasting are 125 to 134, down from about 217, so major improvement with diet alone and no medication. My doctor is fully on board with what I'm doing right now.
@@MarkInLA It was definitely the Jardiance. Everything stopped and got better after I stopped taking it. I'm now doing the Carnivore Diet and my blood sugar has dropped almost 100 points in just 5 weeks. Also, I feel so much better. Diet needs to be looked at too with all these cases where medication is prescribed. My doctor is fully on board with my new eating plan.

@@danbro1970 Im not ridiculously over weight (5ft10inch 104kg) i have type 2, Im in UK and Dr just put me on Invokana 100mg a day, he said this is a low dose. Im hoping with excersise this medicine will help me lose the belly fat, luckily i dont have to pay for pills like these in UK. Ill look into Mounjaro thanks, not sure if its available in UK
So glad to see your video. Thanks for explaining it. I take glyburide, would you consider doing a video on that type of medication? Hope you and your family are doing well. ♥
Thanks for the explanation it was really easy to understand . On Jardiance only two day was scary with all the negative side effect but my diet is low carb . So hope there will no issues. Feel much better then medformin.
Ever since my Dr put me on jardiance ,I get nothing done but pee . So tired of the constant peeing .plus my blood sugar levels up and down.but rarely as it is now constantly in the 200 range
I agree with AARON S, below... and, I now understand WHY I am likely urinating more since my primary Dr. doubled my Metformin to (2xs 500mg/day) AND added Jardiance !! I guess I'll just have to stop drinking so much liquids if I want to lessen trips to the toilet..I also started Saw Palmetto 2 weeks ago in case part of the prob is enlarged prostate as well as my having type II diabetes.. Even though I ingest very little white/cane sugar/milk, I believe I still eat too much carbohydrates (scone, potato wedges w/ketchup, ham/cheese sandwiches) + many oranges/apples, AND recently going thru large bottles of diet cola. Again, I assume my more frequent trips to go pee is likely a good sign in that the Jardiance is closing those 'doors' you talk about and sending the sugar to the toilet...M
Yes, Jardiance is making you urinating more. But I don't think you should just drink less, you need that water to go with the glucose. My suggestion would be to focus on your diet (from your description, your diet needs improvement ) and add some exercise. Remember to talk to your doctor first before making any changes. Thanks
Good to see you back here Doc. We did we chat a while back. Are you still in China? I have been using Jardiance for a while now and I am thinking of stopping it. Maybe it is straining my system?Not sure. Hope all is well with you and family.
We are doing well, thanks. How is your family doing? Yes, we are still in China. I'm just a little busy because I want to finish my PhD this year, and it's taking a lot of my time. But I will not stop making videos 🤭. Only consider stopping them if you can completely control your blood sugar with just diet, exercise and/or metformin, or if they are causing some of the side effects I mentioned (make sure you discuss it with your doctor ). How did your A1c change after starting to take Jardiance?
@@Type-2-Diabetes It is under 7. Last time 6.6. No weight loss though. Like to eat too much. Get plenty of exercise. Weights and usually 3hr. average on the rower. A little on bicycle too. 77 years old now.
I was taking Steglujan. After watching this video, I will never take it again. Immediately overhaul of my diet ASAP. Carbs dropped. Ive been lifting heavy weight, doing long duration low intensity steady state cardio via outdoor walks or incline treadmill.
Hi, thanks for watching. Make sure you talk to your doctor before you stop it because there are other things about you that only your doctor might know. How was your A1c before starting Steglujan?
@@Type-2-Diabetes it was 9.8. Now its 6.7. I'm not going to take it. I know weight lifting and short 10 minute walks, or long walks improve insulin sensitivity bigtime. It's already working. I personally think the medication was just treating the symptoms of an underlying deep rooted problem; a.k.a, the diet
Very informative thanks. I've been taking this drug for a couple of weeks now because my sugar levels jumped to between 17 and 24. It has now dropped to around 10 but I feel extremely tired and giddy. I was on metformin when first diagnosed but felt very ill on it so then was put on gliclazide which made me go low. Then, out of desperation I tried diet and exercise which worked really well for 2 years but then just a couple of months ago it started to climb back up again. Initially I thought the lack of energy was due to peeing all the glucose and leaving none for energy but the way you explain it that seems not to be the case.
Thanks. But please remember to not make any changes to your medications without discussing with your doctor (who knows your condition better than any other doctor online).
I was diagnosed yesterday as t2. My doctor prescribed jardiance 25mg. I have been doing keto/low carb since December, almost 6 months now and lost weight from it but my fasting sugars were still high. I feel super confused because aren’t you supposed to eat a low carb diet as a diabetic? And am I putting myself at risk for DKA if I continue on low carb? I hate the symptom of constantly peeing, that need to urinate is so frustrating that I don’t want to have to deal with it on jardiance. I don’t know what to do…my diet is low carb, I exercise moderately, yet I am where I am, with high sugar. My urinalysis yesterday showed glucose negative so that means my body is reabsorbing the sugar? That’s why I’m so high at resting? So this is a good thing to take? But then how do I eat? What do I eat? I’m so confused and my doc just doesn’t really clarify, just to take the pill and get a blood test in 2 weeks
I do keto so this medicine would not cause me hypo even sleeping. My bs is usually 80 to 90 before I sleep I already had a stroke before, now I'm new to this product. I alway wake up with 72bs in 3am and need to be kickout of ketosis because I have to eat and I fear of hypo while sleeping.
Thanks. Please discuss with your doctor before trying any medication. You said you're eating well. Exercise will also help to some extent. Hope you do well 🙏
Hi doctor. Good video. I'm on farxiga and metformin because im type 2 dietetic.. I was told I got 20% chance of surviving a heart attack should I have one.. I feel I'm not being given all the information or not understand it right, what would you be saying in real terms if you was saying someone had 20% chance of survival of a heart attack ?
the jardiance pill is as efective at 12.5mg than 25mg. the pills can be splitted with a pill splitter although jardiance do not recommrned this... the doctor did. it is cost effective.
Fasting is good if you do it right. Most people who are not on medication should be able to fast without any problems, but please consult with your doctor before taking any advice from RUclips. Thanks

@@vikaschopra-progress9743 Yes one pill of 10 mg every morning...it does reduce your blood glucose by making you pee... but it doesn't do wonders (you still need to watch out your diet and do some light exercise)
