Interesting that the Transitional Cell Carcinoma category is lower in the 10 and 25mg group than the placebo.

I'm 9 weeks in now and must say it is working quite well. Finger prick tests are on average around a point lower. Not much point checking blood pressure as it was good before anyway. I've increased carbs to 30g per meal maximum but is mostly well below this. Previous was 20g max. One thing that...

Just a brief followup. I've had 10 days of Jardiance now and have no side effects. It appears to be working quite well. BG seems to be about a point lower on average. Back to high 5s in the mornings. I pee more often but if I take it in the morning it's workable. Thanks to those for their input.

6.0

Thank you so much. I'm 67 as well and I took 1 pill yesterday and piddled a lot. Might take a few days to see how it goes. Fasting BG this morning was 6.0 which is a little better than it has been. I'll continue for now and see what happens. I'm still taking metformin as it doesn't give me any...

This is good to know. I took one today and definitely piddling more. I'll take a BG reading before bed and see if it has helped. Appreciate your insight. My kidney eGFR is borderline so extra pee may be useful. It has been this way for over 20 years, well before diabetes but hasn't got worse...

No problem Chris. It's worthwhile asking even just for the purpose of information for other readers. For the record I've low carbed for a decade and it's worked pretty well. Unfortunately, the progressive nature of the disease in my case means I've two choices. Either reduce carbs even further...

Hi Chris, Pretty typical of most around here. Restriction of carbohydrate intake. Maximum 20g per meal. Worked well for 10 years. I'm really only after information from anyone using Jardiance. Thanks, Croc

Hi Everybody and a great 2025 to you all. Oh well, after 10 years of diet and metformin for BG control I'm finding it increasingly difficult to sustain good levels. A year ago was mostly in the mid 5s and up to mid 7s after eating. Now I'm mostly in the mid 6s and jump to mid 8s after eating...

When it hurts.

I can never understand why abbreviation is such a long word.

I don't really get annoyed by other people's ignorance. I just quietly point out where the mistakes are.

Hi Olivv, just on another note be wary of HbA1c readings on their own. HbA1c only shows what the average BG levels were over a 90 day period. It does nothing to indicate any spikes in BG. That is how high they become and how quickly they fall to normal. It is worth reading the linked article...

Olivv, did your neurologist get blood tests for certain antibodies such as PR3 c-ANCA and p-ANCA as well as others that I forget the name of. I tested c-ANCA positive which is unrelated to diabetes and can point to possible nerve damaging problems like Vasculitis. May be nothing but worth a...

I agree with the caution element. Worth a shot though. I find oats to be good for me despite being a high carb food. Not the quick oats but the traditional rolled type. Rice is a killer though.
