My nephrologist wants me to take Jardiance for CKD?

I think I'm going to try the Jardiance because my eGFR is at 29, but I'll wait until 2026 because I'd have to pay my $590 deductible if I start it now. Then I'd have to pay the annual deductible again next year (which is going up to 310.)

@steveutnv - My PCP cut my Metformin by half, and put me on Jardiance once my eGFR got to 42. New doc removed Metformin completely, but left Jardiance in place. EGFR had declined to 32, but has since rebounded back to 42.

@steveutnv A sad indication of how broken our healthcare system is. Good luck.
