CANAGLIFLOZIN vs GLIMEPIRIDE

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

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 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 am a type 2 diabetic. Last July, right before I started keto my doc was rumbling about me "graduating" to insulin. He had added glimepiride and Januvia, and my A1C had still crept north of 7. I began keto on July 9th. Since then, with 40 pounds gone we eliminated glimepiride, then januvia, and mid

I had some pain in my bladder before Christmas and went to an Urgent Care place. I had been drinking half a gallon of water a day for two months and the doctor thought that maybe it was the increase in drinking that was making my bladder hurt, since my "urine had no sugar and no ketones" in it.
