I've been on Jardiance for about 2 years and it's helped keep my blood sugars more regular.... I don't have any side effects really, although my wife says my pee smells.... but she's been saying that for years

I am currently taking Jardiance.
The side effects are tolerable for me. Your pee smells, and you can get slight yeast infections from it. But all in all not bad compared to the Ozempic I was on. I just stopped taking the Ozempic a week ago because I couldn’t tolerate the side effects anymore. Sulfur burps, watery diarrhea, bloating. And if you eat too much it makes you really sick and nauseous. I did like that it stopped any cravings. And I did loose about 20 lbs. just hoping that now that I have stopped taking it I don’t put weight back on.

I have been taking Metformin for over 20 years. In the beginning I had the same problems as you, but then the doctor changed the prescription to a slow release version. Then I was fine. I also take large doses of Gliclazide and also inject insulin. Glad the Jardiance seems to suit you. It just wasn't for me!

i am taking it. i had to stop with metformin the side effects were making me housebound. Jardiance seems to working ok. my doctor now wants to add ozempic and i am not sure i am ready for that yet. How have people been on Ozempic?

Yes, I have, about 4 years' ago. It certainly made me pee out sugar but I was constantly in and out of the loo, felt very unclean and smelly, and it definitely wasn't for me. The doctor didn't question when I said, I wanted to stop taking it. Shame, because I thought it could be helpful. I, personally, found it quite horrible, but there must be others who are happy with it.
