"Guys, why are you taking drugs when you only need to exercise and eat more healthily? Taking drugs does not fix the problem, it makes you worse. I was on that stuff and stopped all medication, exercised more, and ate fewer carbs. Still checked my blood levels on a daily basis, all good. Feel great, and all problems come good. Even my ED and libido come good, all naturally, no Viagra needed..."

"I have been on Farxiga for 4 months. I haven't had any side effects. I'm also on 2000 mg of metformin daily. I go this month to my doctor to see how I'm doing. I have lost weight and hope all goes as good as it is now!"

"The medication states that you can get a UTI when using this drug. Well, guess what? I never had a UTI in my life until now. This happened two weeks after I started taking this. I am 66 years old, and I have always heard that once you get a UTI, you are susceptible to getting them on and off from that point on. Gee, thanks! UTIs left untreated can lead to dementia. I am going to talk to my doctor to find out what, if anything, I can do alternatively to lower my glucose level or otherwise see what the improvement turns out to be. I am also planning to get a Pap smear as well because it states that you can get a yeast infection, so I want to make sure I didn't get that as well! Besides these two things, the medication has some promising effects. Still too early to tell. I am conflicted in my opinion."

"Short and sweet. This doesn't work for me. Causes stomach ache, constipation, itching, yeast infection, fatigue and high blood sugar readings. Every issue mentioned on this site, I have dealt with."
