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

What embarrassing pharmacy confessions do you have? Thought it would be fun to share embarrassing things you did or didn’t know/realize, and didn’t want to tell others in your pharmacy. For the first year or so of working, I thought “Basaglar Kwikpen” was “basaglar Kiwi-pen”, and had no idea why it
How does everyone work with patients that just blatantly lie about being adherent to their meds? Example: I have a pt who is suppose to be on a large amount of insulin Glargine but hasn’t picked up his rx since November but SWEARS he’s taking it… my concern is safety since I am often titrating insul
I’ve seen insulin glargine 150 units bid Is there a point where insulin just does NOT work??
The FDA considers Semglee to be biosimilar to and interchangeable with Lantus. Looking at the structural formulas, I don't see any differences. The amino acid chains appear to be the same, the linking appears to be the same, and the inactive ingredients per 1mL appear to be the same. So what are th

Can't imagine sanofi doing this a few years ago when they were t
