If I was in your position, even though you think your HbA1c will be worse, I wouldn’t want to change meds until I knew what I was working with. If you are tolerating Gliclazide is there room to increase that, something else to think about maybe?

Jardiance removes sugar and sends it to your kidneys before it goes through your system. It gives you sweet urine. Your body has bacteria around your elimination openings which love the sugar and can grow into urinary tract infections. Male and female. I wipe myself with plain water after urinating. I find it messy and uncomfortable and plan to get off Jardiance as soon as I can. There have been some people who developed a gangrene like condition - this is all documented in the side effects of Jardiance.
