Medication question: Dapagliflozin (SGLt2). I think this is also called farxiga and other names
Hi everyone, hope you all are well. I am doing alright since my first diagnosis back in Nov 2022. My last Creat(about a month agao) was 2.39 with EGFR at 36. Pretty much the same. I was wondering if any one is taking Dapagliflozin. My Neph recommended it and says might help in proteninuria. I

Having said that my nephrologist has advised me to abandon the losartan and start
Farxiga
. My question is if anyone lives in Massachusetts, USA can recommend a good dietitian/ nephrologist who also believes in natural homeopathic kidney treatment. Thank you in advance.

Results from scan. 36% ef. Previous scan in Jan 35-40%. no change since start Dapagliflozin/forxiga. Q. How do we improve ef rate?
39 yrs old. Had a suspect heart attack back in 2019 where my ef rate was 12% and was in ICU for 10 days praying for my life and coughing up pink phlegm. All the fun stuff of dying from heart failure. Luckily managed to pull through. Fast forward several years of meds and slow recovery. My ef bounced

HbA1c has gone down!!!!
Saw the diabetes nurse yesterday, my HbA1c is 63, down from 88 (not sure when it was 88, but who cares!) I've been on Ozempic for about a year, but couldn't get any for several months due to the shortages. I'm back on it the last 3 months and have gradually increased to the 1mg dose (which it was I

Forxiga. Dapagliflozin. Due to start this drug. Any good? Sides? How does it actually work for the heart? Any improvements?
The information leaflet says it helps diabetes by removing excess sugar in the body thus helping treat that condition. For heart failure it just says it helps protect the heart from getting weaker. It can help patients live longer. But it does not actually say how this works. Can anyone explain? I

Dapagliflozin (Forxiga, Farxiga). Has anyone been on this drug long term and experienced improvements to heart?
I have recently been to the cardiologist who has stated my ef rate had dropped from 44% to 35-40% which is a small decline but he is hoping over this next year, that the drug dapa will improve things before intervening any further. Has anyone noticed improvements from this drug specifically?

Nephrologist Visit
She talked about the
Farxiga
and said she thinks it is a good med for me to be on. She said it does have a drying or dehydrating effect on the kidneys. As it eliminates sugar in the urine that causes the kidney to pull water from everywhere to help do that.

I understand it is very similar (same class of drug) as
Farxiga
, which my insurance won't cover. Thanks in advance.

Farxiga and Kidney Disease
I was wondering if it'll be to my advantage to start taking
Farxiga
as I have read that it does help to slow down the progress. I'll also start talking to a dietitian about a good diet. I have been reading a lot about different diets as learning about living with kidney disease.
