Agreed! Staying hydrated is major, along with diet and exercise. Managing stress is easier said than done :-)! Like you, my CKD is not from diabetes. I have had CKD for nearly 40 years; it is IgA Nephropathy, and my nephrologist expected me to be on dialysis years ago. Until recently, there were no medications to treat this, so I had to rely on hydration, etc. (and probably a bit of luck). Also, like you, my systolic pressure has decreased with Farxiga. I am on a remote BP monitor to track it. Since I am not diabetic, I resisted taking it (and the mentioned side effects were definitely intimidating!). However, I hope to continue on it with good results for both kidneys and heart.

I am curious, though, why did you switch from Jardiance to Farxiga? My doctor indicated that they were both basically the same. I made the decision based on cost.
