EVERY DIABETIC SHOULD BE ON THESE MEDS! Jardiance, Farxiga, Invokana, Steglatro.

* Content has been oversimplified for understanding*

In this video, Diana Bytyqi discusses an important class of antidiabetic medications called SGLT2 inhibitors. This class consists of Jardiance, Farxiga, Invokana, and Steglatro.

This is becoming a very popular class of medications, not only because they reduce hba1c by nearly 1-1.5%, however, they are shown to be an effective class of medications for the protection of the heart and kidneys.

We are now seeing nephrologists and cardiologists recommending this class, Jardiance in particular, for both renal protection and for the reduction of congestive heart failure admissions and reducing cardiac death by nearly 43% in diabetic patients.

Although not indicated for weight loss, this class is associated with some weight loss. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels) are very uncommon with this medication given in the mechanism in which the medication works.

SGLT2 inhibitors work with the kidneys to get rid of the extra sugar in the bloodstream. Hence, it is important to drink plenty of fluid to replenish water loss through excessive urination.

Because of the sugar in the urine, yeast infections are more common, especially in women. Therefore, we recommend regular hygiene after each restroom use such as the use of water or wet wipe to get rid of the sugar.
