CANAGLIFLOZIN vs DAPAGLIFLOZIN

I’m just so happy i had to share somewhere. I had my test a couple days ago and got the results, been dreading but it turned out great! The medication (canagliflozin), brown rice and food control has been working the past 2 years. I know i’ll have to continue these for the rest of my life, but know

We went out to the ADA Expo in LA a couple weeks ago and wanted to share some interesting stuff we learned from a seminar on Current and Future Treatments on Diabetes [A few photos] (http://imgur.com/a/pMkDl) [SGLT-2] (http://www.forbes.com/sites/larryhusten/2013/03/29/fda-approves-first-sglt2-inh

So I am a type 2 diabetic taking Invokamet (Metformin+Canagliflozin). I like to have a drink or two with dinner here and there. ive notied though, that if I am drinking beer I get nauseous 2-3 hours after, but not after wine or liquor. Has anyone else seen side effects such as this?

I'm male, age 47, 5 foot 8, weigh about 250 pounds. Ever since going on insulin two years ago I've had a hell of a time losing weight. I also have degenerative disc disease and osteoarthritis of the spine which makes exercising difficult, but I am walking for 15 minutes every day after work, and wor

I'm wondering if anyone has started this med and could tell me how they feel about it. I'm a type 1 and it was offered to me to help lose weight. I'm just unsure of how it will change my BG, if I'll be having lots of hypos and if it really will help me lose weight. Any input would be great to hear.

I've been using Xigduo (metformin with canagliflozin) and I notice that when you eat spicy the capsaicin gets excreted through the urine as well. As a man you will end up with a spicy weiner when you pee. I am an extremely spicy eater but I thought I'd share this uncomfortable side effect for all of

I’m honestly so happy I’m not even sure how I feel. Back in July I unexpectedly found out I was diabetic after finding a high amount of sugar in my urine and being urged to go to the ER for immediate bloodwork. I’ve been put on 5mg of Farxiga (dapagliflozin) the last month or so and have been keepi

I used to take Xigduo and it was covered just fine on my previous insurance, but then I lost my job and had to get a plan off the healthcare marketplace. They have a fairly large deductible for prescriptions and charge coinsurance on name-brand drugs, so even after using a manufacturer's coupon I'd

http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm505860.htm The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has strengthened the existing warning about the risk of acute kidney injury for the type 2 diabetes medicines canagliflozin (Invokana, Invokamet) and dapagliflozin (Farxiga, Xigduo XR).

So I just got my first CGM and I'm loving it! Previously, I was finger pricking and noticed that my waking BG was always higher than it was the rest of the day. I suspected Dawn Phenomenon, as it would be 120 odd and then settle down to 80-90 throught the day, with the odd spike upt to 120-140 after

I know 6 days is a small window, but hear me out. Diabetic for 9 years. Maintained it below 7 till 6 months back. Met with accident on 6th Oct, thumb got amputated just below nail. Found out during surgery blood tests Hba1c was 8 ( stress and stress eating in last 6 months pushed it up). Surgeon s

Hi, my dad (58) was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes almost a year ago. My dad drinks alcohol occasionally and is a non-smoker. Last December 6, 2024, his HbA1c increased from 7.5 to 8.1. We were a bit complacent with my dad's diet, and as a family of 5, we also had some lapses. We want to be stricter

Hi everyone, well I had a terrible year last year which brought on a huge amount of stress, due to mental health issues with my daughter and also working in a high pressured environment. I am a self-employed consultant so I have to work as I am the main breadwinner for the family. My diabetic contr
