For Diabetes, Type 2 "Guys listen there are lots of medication for diabetes but none of them will cure it. They will only control it but the problem is that even controlling is not that easy and it will come with side effects for sure. Go for daily exercise only 30 minutes and be on diet and that’s it there won’t be any diabetes and those useless medications. I took this medication when I diagnosed with diabetes but when I learned that new studies believe that weight loss and diet is enough I stopped this medication and my diabetes is controlled without these useless medications. This medication will make you thirsty and the main problem for me was that I used to go to toilet in the middle of the night with this useless medication. I had blurry vision and hypotension some times, tinnitus was there and those useless doctors are saying that there is no relationship between your side effects and medication. ertugliflozin approved 2019 be aware of side effects which not mentioned."

Steglatro (ertugliflozin) for Diabetes, Type 2 "While taking this medication Steglatro my BG numbers were great. I am a type 1 diabetic and was using this medication to improve my A1c. I took this medication for about 4 months with a reoccurring yeast Infection about every 3 weeks. I decided to discontinue this medication although my numbers were great I couldn't live with the terrible yeast Infections."

Steglatro (ertugliflozin) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I use Steglatro 5mg to help reduce the amount of insulin I need to take. I have T1DM. It works very well at reducing my numbers! I am disappointed to say that I may have to go off of it because I get daily headaches. I just started this medication 2 weeks ago, and woke up the first night with a headache. I am going to give it more time, and hopefully the headaches go away so I can stay on this medication!!"

Steglatro (ertugliflozin) for Diabetes, Type 2 "I've been taking Steglatro for type 2 diabetes for the last 3 months, after metformin really not agreeing with me. After 4 weeks on steglatro I had a really severe reaction down below, which was excruciating for a week, I was going to come off them but pleased I've carried on taking it as I've lost so much weight, which for years I struggled to lose weight, and now its melting off me. I've had no more bad side effects, my sugar levels have dropped so much that I'm 2 points off going into remission, this has been fantastic medication and so pleased I was put on it."

Steglatro (ertugliflozin) for Diabetes, Type 2 "First, Steglatro did lower my blood sugar. That is a good thing, I suppose. Now the bad stuff: Steglatro increased my joint pain phenomenally. Within 12 hours of taking the first pill, joint pain skyrocketed and stayed high until several days after I stopped taking it. I was able to treat the joint pain with other medications - just adding more pills to my daily routine. Steglatro made me so fatigued that I couldn't function. My doctor told me that it would help me lose weight, but I gained weight instead. It was only about 10 pounds in 2 years, the reason being that I was very active before taking it, and it prevented me from exercising with any real energy. Steglatro basically works via dehydration, and no matter how much I drank, I still had sleep problems, drymouth and associated dental problems. It's an appetite suppressant, but too strong - it's been a huge struggle to eat anything, healthy or not. I'm very excited to quit this medication."

For Diabetes, Type 2 "I was recommended by my doctor to use Steglaro. After taking the medication Steglatro for a few weeks, I have noticed my blood glucose level has been lowered. It is so amazing. I have also noticed I have lost some weight during the first few weeks and it totally great as I have a high BMI. However, after using it for a month, I experience itching in the vulva which was very uncomfortable. Hence, I would advise female diabetic patients to use at their own risk.""

Steglatro (ertugliflozin) for Diabetes, Type 2 "You could have every side effect listed. It will not do much to lower your A1C but you will have sever dehydration. Elevated heart rate and penalties yeast infection. Plus the cost is ridiculous"

Steglatro (ertugliflozin) for Diabetes, Type 2 "This has been awesome my sugars have been the best they have ever been. Mornings used to be 200s NOW avg 150-170, after work used to be 200+, NOW 150-170, before dinner used to be 150, NOW low 100s. I do use with 35 units of Lantus at bedtime and have ended using mealtime insulin regularly ( only use when I spike over 200 ) and even then the amount is drastically lower as 5 units lowers 50-75 on meter. Not experiencing any side effect issues. Taking 5mg dose."
