    I started taking Farxiga in Aug. 23 and I was surprised because for the longest time, it appeared to be not causing me any side effects, except for peeing more. However, in the last month, I started having trouble with both of my hips feeling like someone was sticking a knife in them, especially when seated. I also had lower back pain and at first, I didn't even think that it could be the med, but I ask my Dr. about it and he told me to lay off of it for awhile to see if things got better. I've been off it for three days now and my hips and back have already quit hurting. I'm not a diabetic, but he had given it to me because I'm stage 3A CKD and thought it would preserve my kidneys.

    I almost died!!! On 10/11/24 at about 4am I went via ambulance to Medical Emergency Services was immediately admitted to ICU. I am a type 2 diabetic who had diabetic keto acidosis! (And this is important because we are NOT SUPPOSED to get that!! But that is what the ER diagnosis was) But it was atypical, my sugars had been relatively low (I had finally woken up with a 108 BS according to my CGM! Yay! No dawn phenomenon!!! So later on I learned that what I had was more accurately called "Euglycemic Diabetic Ketoacidosis"). I was ON the keto/ketovour diet and was doing pretty good, but I was ALSO ON JARDIANCE (SGLT2)!!! That combination almost killed me!! I was feeling sick for a few days, and had thrown up a few nights ago. I thought I just had the “keto flu” you hear about, and so I just tried to push through it and ugh, boy did I feel yucky! Things finally came to a head when at about 3:30am in the morning as I was “trying” to sleep I started hyperventilating! It was as if I had tried to run a marathon at a sprinting speed, my lungs wanted to explode. My whole body was hurting and spasming. I was dizzy, too wobbly to walk or get out of bed. I also threw up then and it was BLACK... I remember thinking “Hmmm.. I don't recall eating anything BLACK! What the heck is THAT!?” I finally admitted I needed to go to the hospital because I was in so much PAIN. I also figured that the black vomit was not good, so yes please! Take me to the hospital! I can have my husband (a doctor) help me decipher the medical records, but my “health” markers were WAYYYYYYYY OFF! One important “buffer” needed for life was unreadable according to their machines, meaning I had NO more “buffer”. My blood acidity level was also up off the charts. So anyway first thing they did was try to ask me questions, kinda hard as I was going in and out of consciousness. I remember vaguely the ride to the hospital, being rolled out of the ambulance into a metal room (or maybe just metal doors, I don't know?”) being lifted/transferred to the hospital stretcher, then rolled into another room, then a team of about 8-10 ER staff all surrounding me. The questions were “what was that from” (from me groaning in pain) “where does it hurt” (everywhere) “can you be more specific” (ok I'll try... my back, my stomach, my legs, my feet...) “do you have pain in your chest?” (yes, but its my lungs, my lungs hurt). I guess they were trying to figure out if I was having a heart attack before they did anything else. After a few more groans in pain they said “Lets get her some morphine” and I immediately got some relief. But I was still breathing REALLY HARD, that didn't slow down until much later on. The rest of my time that next 24 hrs is kinda a blur. I was trying to sleep, but they were waking me up trying to prick my finger to see what my blood sugars were doing every hour, and they were drawing blood for labs (SO MANY LABS), and they were waking me up to see if I could do any physical therapy, and I had to ask them to please UNTIE ME from the IV's from both elbow pits & from the compression leg thingies keeping both legs down to help me get to the toilet so I could pee. I wasn't allowed to eat or drink for 24 hrs. They didn't even want me sipping on water (only allowed to chew/swallow ice chips), because THEY were giving me water via IV and they needed to know exactly how much water went into me, and then as I was peeing into this container they were measuring how much fluid was coming out of me as well. Ugh. I'm just tired again just writing/reading this all. Ok, next phase. Next day I am transferred to the regular hospital floor. They are now giving me insulin shots. But I am SO dismayed because I did not WANT insulin shots! The diabetic educator was trying to convince me I needed insulin shot prescription. I started to shut down and not share or communicate with her anymore. I was being a pain-in-the-butt because I kept insisting I did NOT want insulin shots! We were at an impasse. They were looking at me like I'm crazy. And I was just having SUCH a hard time. I do over react to stress and that can make my BS go UP like 100 points. Shots/pokes/jabs drive me crazy! I have a complete meltdown internally, meanwhile outside I'm trying to hide that. My poor sons inherited this from me. When they get labs drawn or get a shot they faint! They are fully grown men and they are fainting! One time I was trying to show my younger son how my glucose monitor worked so I pricked one of his fingers.... AND HE FAINTS! So ya, they inherited that from somewhere, and that somewhere was ME! Now I'm getting “poked” more than a hundred times a day it seems! And they have me on insulin, for the first time in my 10 years with diabetes I'm on insulin. But to tell the truth the insulin DID SAVE MY LIFE!!! AND THE GLUCOSE ALSO SAVED MY LIFE!!! How confusing is that?!? Ya! It's confusing! Anyway, I'm having a hard time because what I WANTED TO DO (do Keto, no insulin!) was not what THEY wanted me to do. I am battling the medical establishment.... AND MY HUSBAND THE DOCTOR TOO. So now it's the next day and I will be discharged from the hospital. We have a meeting with my ER doc. And he had consulted with some other hospitalists & endocrinologists. They very clearly decided that my problem was NOT the keto diet! My problem was the JARDIANCE ON the Keto diet! They released me saying “No insulin, NO JARDIANCE, no Metformin, you can do Keto” End of story!! YAY!! So now instead of spending more than $800 a month on diabetes prescriptions (no more Jardiance, no more Invocana, no more Metformin (perhaps the culprit for my black vomit?), and I'm probably going to be non-compliant and most likely WON”T start the Trulicity they want me to take.) I'll instead be spending that money on LOBSTER and eating that with BUTTER, and I'll have a side of RIB EYE to go with that!!! Cartman of South Park was correct!!! “Tell the President to have a little steak with his butter!” But in more seriousness, I love low glycemic veggies, love fish, other healthy proteins, so still incorporating the parts of Mediterranean Diet but I'm going to do it keto style. I just LITERALLY CANT have more than 20g of carbs per day, so the "red wine" sipped while eating "french bread" w cheese & "grapes"...nope! the only thing I can have from that list is the cheese. I hope I survive this new diet! Wish me luck! We will see!! So anyway I'm writing all of this with the hopes to GET THE WORD OUT!! I was looking out the window of my hospital room as we were talking with my doc (and I am wondering how many others like me were out there. Struggling. Hurting), & we were sharing that multiple ER staff persons were saying “we see this all the time” and I'm thinking “Well, that is WAY TOO MUCH then!”. And the ER doc was saying “well, its not all the time, maybe once a month...” and I'm still thinking “THIS IS STILL IS WAY TOO MANY!!” People with type 2 diabetes (or more accurately should be called "insulin resistant") are out there, and some of them are on an SGLT2 and they are getting SICK while they are trying to get healthy! AND they are also getting really SICK AND TIRED of this disease PROGRESSION!!! Do we keep going with this PROGRESSION? Do we lose our sight and go blind? Do we lose our Feet? (I've got horrible neuropathy in my feet! I'm scared!) Our legs? My thumb? (because that is constantly hurting me and is numb. Is my thumb dying and am I going to lose my thumb?) How far and how long are we going to let this disease PROGRESS?!? Can we get off the merry-go-round of... gain more weight->become insulin resistant->have higher blood sugars->take insulin shots->gain more weight-> etc and on and on. No people! NO!!! We are TRYING TO GET HEALTHY! We go to the store, we buy the GOOD stuff, we learn to cook it the right way and say “oh DANG, that is YUMMY!!!” So ya, back to my point, how many type 2 diabetics out there ON JARDIANCE (or other SGLT2's) who want to give this Keto/Carnevour thing a try? Because I tried it 3 times, 2 times I failed MISERABLY.... because I was “SICK” sick & likely about to go into DKA back then too, and I stopped it by giving up & eating CARBS (and thereby continuing on with my disease progression) not by GETTING OFF JARDIANCE!!!!! I have a HUGE question..... HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUFFERED WITH KETO FLU WERE ON JARDIANCE or other SGLT2's? I would seriously LOVE to see a survey done to ask that question! I'm writing here because this IS THE TARGET AUDIENCE!! Please help me get the word out!!! GET OFF JARDIANCE or other SGLT2's if you want to STAY ON KETO/CARNEVOUR!! Medical providers DON'T KNOW! (I've heard recently of 2 cases where dr knew this person was doing serious keto, and prescribed Jardiance anyway). Patients DON'T KNOW! Why would it be dangerous if we are eating HEALTHY?!? So, we STILL need to get the word out!! Thank you for uploading this video! Thank you for reading this! Stay safe! God Bless!
    Note: I had been on Jardiance for a long time, and I DID lose alot of weight on it, BUT my diabetes was STILL PROGRESSING! Jardiance was NOT CURING MY DIABETES! It was only treating the high blood sugar symptoms. Please look into content from Dr Jason Fung who is helping people REVERSE TYPE II DIABETES.. and also Ben Bikman who is also helping people REVERSE TYPE II DIABETES!!! I'm basically OFF all meds, and I'm working HARD to keep the blood sugars down. OH! and ALLULOSE!! Allulose the sweetener will LOWER MY BLOOD SUGAR (according to my CGM), Ben Bikman did a video on all the sweeteners out there, and allulose is his favorite #1, and it's mine too!!!

      Fat is the cause of type 2 diabetes because the fat plugs up the cells and therefore the insulin can't get in where it's supposed to. So the insulin goes throughout your body and in the organs causing liver, kidney and other bad conditions. So the fat is the fat that comes from overeating of meat. So for long term health Keto is not a healthy diet to be on.

    Intermittent fasting is great for type 2 diabetes and can improve kidney function in most stages. It helps one stop the cravings for sugar and other bad foods The easiest way to do intermittent fasting is not eating dinner past 6pm and waiting to 1pm or longer the next day for your first meal. At first it's a little hard but by the third day your body is adjusting and you start feeling much better and loose weight effortlessly. Eat plenty of vegetables and beans and whole grains for your meals. Diabetes will reverse in most cases.

    Been on Jardiance a week, so far, more side effects then benefit. Very expensive drug to wait 24 weeks for full effects. I experience lightheaded feelings, my voice has become horse and feeling more fatigued. Drinking more than enough water, but still think the drug is not doing much good.

    Farxiga worked against my health! My vision blurred, I had arthroses pains because this medication dehydrated my arthroses and the dehydration augmented the pressure in my eyes and now I have to prevent glaucoma! It's strange to me that I had all these side effects because I was drinking a lot of water! I made a recherche and found that Farxiga creates major acidity in the body and that is a great problem for arthroses because the body tries to become more alkalic and "steal" from the bones Calcium. And as a result weakens the bones and the muscles..

      @@doodybobodo5531 Thank you for the answer. Hopefully after 10 days that I don't take Farxiga anymore and take Berberine instead the pains almost disappeared. But I need a pill in addition to berberine of 750mg that I take daily and I don't know which to take that has not much side effects because I also tried metformin and caused me gi troubles.. My diabetes doctor proposed me to take insulin shots but I hesitate..
