My friend takes Jardiance and seems to eat whatever he wants. I only take metformin and 2.5 mg of glipizide. I have to be very careful in what I eat.

My new physician has put me on Jardiance. I am currently on 10mg.So far no side effects.

My husband has type two diabetes and high blood pressure and high cholesterol. He was given 4 different medications including the Ozempic and synjardy xr (also, rosuvastatin and valartan) would it be better, in the interest of not taking four new medication starting all at once to choose one of the diabetic treatments and see how it goes before incorporating the other? Curious what anyone else’s experience has been.

I had a health check at the gym and was told I was dehydrated (48%)
I told the nurse at my diabetes check and , after checking with the doc, I was taken off Metformin and put on amlodipine.
I was wanting to only take the jardiance I am prescribed as it is the most effective at bringing down my sugar.
What do I expect amlodipine to do?

It seems that people I know who take Jardiance and Victoza and Trulicity seem to be able to eat more carbs than people just taking metformin or drugs like glipizide. Do these drugs allow you to eat more carbs and still keep your blood glucose in check?
