Anyone with CKD & type 2 diabetes taking Farxiga (dapagliflozin)?

I have been taking Farxiga for proteinuria but it has decreased my GFR from 80 to 70. In fact, I have a feeling that I may live longer with CKD without Farxiga. I am thinking about taking herbal medicine and stop Farxiga.

@zukertort70 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Have you discussed this with your endocrinologist, yet? Is the proteinuria a result of diabetes? If it is not, you may very well want to find the root cause of that before moving forward.

Is this drop in eGFR a one time thing, or a trend? That is how we look at changes in our kidney function. Dehydration can be a big cause of changes, as can time of day the labwork is pulled, different machines processing samples, exercise just before labs, etc.
