Have Diabetes 2 taking Jardiance for kidney

@franco39 I jumped into this discussion because of the Jardiance topic. I know of it as a medication for diabetes but was not aware of any applications for kidney / bladder. I am diabetic and I have stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD). I don’t take Jardiance. I will be seeing my nephrologist on Nov. 2 after doing my labs the previous week. I’ll inquire about Jardiance. Then perhaps we can compare information?

Hi
I am not sure Jardiance is for bladder?? per se
but it is now one of the better medications to take with Metformin (if your taking that for Type II diabetes) it protects your kidneys and makes you pee more - however
it cleanses your blood of sugars and that is a good thing...i just learned that from my first nephrology visit in early Sept. and will see in Nov if it is working well for me. I am not one to want to try new drugs - most of what i take i have had been taking for 40 years now...and dont like change unless a necessity. So maybe we can keep in touch on it... so lets do that... Frank
