Farxiga

My endocrinologist wants me to begin Farxiga - - 10mg every morning. I consulted my hematologist and nephrologist (my cadre of "ologists"!) and all gave the thumbs up.

The endo guy believes it will help get my blood sugar under better control (lower A1c, etc.) while, simultaneously, preventing further kidney deterioration that is a known sidebar of Type 2 Diabetes (I am currently a CKD Stage 3A).

My A1c is currently 8.2. I take daily jabs of Tresiba - 60units and 2mg daily of Glimepiride. I am diagnosed as a Type 2 and have been diabetic for just over twenty years.

My question here is do any of you have experience with Farxiga? Side effects? Success? Anything you might benevolently choose to share.

Thank you so much.

HI, you got a lot of meds, for diabetes.
Interesting the farxiga when side effects can be kidneys, just laymen stuff.
Farxiga is like glxambi, heart kidneys as well, good for flozin.
Yeah, food is the culprit.
If it white it aint right, rice, pasta, potatoes breads and everything processed.
So many hidden sugars, sucrose, multi detextrose, fructose, stevia-says it good, it aint.
if any raw.
Fruits, watermelon, oranges, mango- if too much.
Food and exercise. Glimperide is effective when you manage the above, otherwise not effective.
Kidneys are stuffed when ckd goes these numbers, but will improve, i have been lower.
Blood pressure regulates kidneys, fluid intake, water is mandatory, exercise will aide this improvement.

Diabetes, when shown has already done some damage, it is a creeper, and hides, when shown, well, and this is plain fact. My strong suggestion is a dietitian.
