    New medication Jardiance

    I have been on it for 4 months now. Doc said it becomes the first line of medication. It works better than metformin. I lost 10 lbs in the 3rd month. Glucose wise, not sure if it's because of it or my diet change. A1C was satisfactory. Sent from my iPad using DCUK Forum mobile app

    Metformin and side effects Help!!!!

    I was on metformin 4 per day for months. My stomach problem had never stopped. My new doc prescribed Glumetza and gave me a manufacturer coupon so i didn't have to pay. My stomach problem stopped that very day when i started Glumetza. Glumetza is the brand name of metformin. Hope this helps.

    Sugar Tax??

    Use stevia, a natural plant, instead of sugar. There is a soft drink called Zevia. It's made of stevia.
