Hiya.
I was on that med, Jardiance 10mg last year and it helped me a lot. I was on Glimeperimide 3mg with it.
I didn't see much of a weight loss and the weeing is how it passes the excess Glucose out of your system.
This can cause Thrush so I would drink lots of water.
I would check with your GP about embarking on a very low carb diet though as I went to low carb last year and my GP took me off it. That's because of risk of DKA.
Just be careful hun.

Sandwich means bread so that's carbs plus shepherd's pie which means potatoes so more carbs and peas are also quite high carbs

What else is your normal meals, you might not be as low carb as you think

I'm on Metformin, bydureon and Dapagliflozin and have dropped my carbs to < 130g a day coupled with exercise and am losing weight. I did lose some with weight once the Dapagliflozin was added and apart from one case of thrush am now without side effects but I am still learning that those blasted carbs are in so many things
