the minimum dose of Metformin and was doing fine on that. I did want to lose some weight, though, my doc agreed I could stand to lose some, thus Jardiance. It has already helped me lose 15 pounds already. I was a bit nauseated the first few days and I had a couple of lows, but I just added some healthy carbs (beans, oatmeal) to counteract the lows. I haven't had any UTIs, but I was warned to watch out for them.

I do wonder about the dizziness -- I hadn't connected my occasional feeling of being "off-balance" for a second or two, especially when bending over, with my taking Jardiance. I'll have to report that to my doc.
