These medications are all SGLT2 inhibitors - and they can definitely help lower your blood sugar!

But there are a few things you absolutely need to know before taking Jardiance, Invokana, Farxiga, or Steglatro. The side-effects are preventable but they can be serious, too.
** Beware: a small percentage of people have experienced DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) induced by taking SGLT-2 inhibitors. If you are experiencing symptoms of DKA while taking an SGLT-2, call your doctor and visit your local emergency department immediately. **

Thank you, this is great information. Keeping hydrated is very important. The one thing I would recommend to anybody starting an SGLT2 inhibitor is to carefully watch your blood sugars when you first start taking it especially if you eat a protein heavy or Keto diet before you go to bed. I have woke up a blood sugar 55. This only happened during the first two weeks of taking the medication and I wasn't on insulin at the time. Another thing is if you've been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and you're between the age of 35 and 50, I recommend you see an endocrinologist and get a c-peptide test done. You are going to want to make sure you are an actual type, two diabetic and not a 1.5 Diabetic ketoacidosis is not fun.

YES, well said, all of the above. I have another video about type 1 being misdiagnosed as type 2 in adults. Thanks for watching and for sharing your experience and insights!

do you have a book that tells how to use a SGLT2 and what diet to eat with it.

My exercise book has a chapter on nutrition and diet! My “stop overeating during lows” has several chapters about diabetes diet. You don’t need a particular diet for an Sglt2

Would it be smart to take the Jardiance and be on a keto or weight watchers diet. I'm trying to lose weight also.

Noooo, taking an SGLT-2 on a ketogenic diet can lead to DKA. Very risky. Weight-watchers? YES. But don't go keto. Most people who go keto gain back twice as much weight any. Stick with something more reasonable! And exercise. Read my article here: www.diabetesdaily.com/blog/why-low-carb-diets-and-sglt2-inhibitors-are-a-dangerous-combination-723937/

Also, the high saturated fat in most keto diets spike your ApoB, causal in the #1 killer heart disease.

Farxiga worked against my health! My vision blurred, I had arthroses pains because this medication dehydrated my arthroses and the dehydration augmented the pressure in my eyes and now I have to prevent glaucoma! It's strange to me that I had all these side effects because I was drinking a lot of water! I made a recherche and found that Farxiga creates major acidity in the body and that is a great problem for arthroses because the body tries to become more alkalic and "steal" from the bones Calcium. And as a result weakens the bones and the muscles..

YIKES! The dehydration was so intense I couldn't stand it for more than a week.
