My nephrologist wants me to take Jardiance for CKD?

Hello, my nephrologist wanted me to take jardiance for my CKD which is 3b and egfr is 38 and I am currently on Farziga. I am also diabetic which for the most part is controlled. I am still working so my medication cost isn’t tough on the family now. Reading some of these comments is basically preparing me for what is in store when I get older. Thank you all and I pray you all are always in good spirits no matter what the situation.

@natelew Does your nephrologist want you to take both Jardiance and Farziga? Just curious because my Mayo nephrologist recommended Farziga but changed the order when insurance would only cover Jardiance. He said they had the same properties which include reducing urine protein. I see ads for both meds pitched on TV to get the attention of diabetic patients. I am not diabetic but I have terrible proteinuria.
