I'm on Janumet and was drinking about 4 litters of water plus cups of tea Now back to normalHi has anyone on these tablets? Been put on them and since then have been so thirsty, does anyone know if this is normal and my body just getting used to the tablets? Thank you x
They are ment to be a diffrent tab to metformin Not sure what they do But metformin was not doing anything for me xLol that's how I am too, glad it's not just me lol x
Thank you, hopefully I won't get any of them side effects lol xThere's some information about common side-effects here:- https://www.jardiance.com/how-it-works
Thank you been taking it for 4 days so for,m the thirst has stopped so hopefully all good although I have taken my blood sugar 3 times today (DN told me not to) and it was 18.3 this morning 12.3 before lunch and 12.5 2 hours after lunch and a school run so don't really know what's happening lol@Kerrylou78 - Hi . The first sign of burning urine and/or thrush or even backache (that this drug can cause) you must go and see your GP straight away.
I know of another forum member who took this drug which you are taking and they suffered side effects. Whereas, I took a simular drug called Dapagliflozin (same group) and I suffered bad side effects. But, on the plus side: it lowered my Blood Sugars, lowered my HBA1C and I lost weight.
Good Luck with it, and hope you don't get any problems with it.
I know this is what I thought that I need to check, I like to know that I'm in control even though at the minute I feel out of control with it lol thank you for taking the time to reply@Kerrylou78 - Hi. I would give it another couple of days, this will allow it to build up in your system and then you will start to see the effect on your blood sugars.
You are sensible to test your blood sugars, by doing this it allows You to be in control - (despite the Diabetes Nurse saying not to do so).
