My cardiologist put me on Jardiance with my Entresto as Jardiance was seen to help improve cardiac health. I was, but not now, a type 2 diabetic (from high steroids for asthma). Since decreasing my steroids, type 2 DM has gone away. However, he still stresses the positive effects of Jardiance on cardiac health. He also prescribed Spironolactone at a low dose, as it preserves potassium while having diuretic properties. Thankfully, the Entresto and combination of lifestyle change, along with decreased steroids, have helped bring up my EF.
Good luck.
