CANAGLIFLOZIN vs LIRAGLUTIDE

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

After two consecutive blood tests showed and A1C of 4.5-4.6, my primary care physician had me drop my T2 meds. I achieved these results through diet and exercise, supported by my meds. First he had me drop Jardiance, and that went fine. Another 4.6 A1C. Then he had me drop Victoza/Liraglutide and Me

Slight cross post from a r/KaiserPermanente thread of mine. After 2 years and 4 denials to see an endocrinologist as an uncontrolled T2D, I finally got them to accept the referral after asking for a formal denial letter so I could go self-pay to an out of network hospital system a few counties away.

I was diagnosed with T2 back in November and it gave me a scare. I’m in the morbidly obese category and on liraglutide to help. I don’t think it’s working well for me but that’s a separate issue. I feel like I need another kick, I haven’t received a lot of support from my GP (in the UK) and I am try

What do you guys usually do with leftover medication? This is 0.5mg and based on my usual dosage of 1.8mg/day, I rarely have enough extra across 3 sticks to constitute one last dose at the end of the medication period. Do you still use the extra?

Hi all I’ve been diagnosed type 2 this January and have since been on a mix of metformin, glimepiride, and sitagliptin none of which lowered my sugars very much. My nurse has suggested that I could go onto a daily or weekly injection (Liraglutide/Trulicity) to help stimulate the insulin levels. Does

When I was first diagnosed, I couldn’t afford my medications to keep everything maintained. My A1C is sitting somewhere around a 7/8. Two years later, I moved to 12u long acting and around 20-30u of fast acting. Doctor tried to put me on Ozempic, but I ended up in the ER from an allergic reaction.

For the past 5 months I have been working really hard on my diet and fitness level where i've pretty much got it in lock down. I've integrated healthy eating and going into the gym in a very sustainable way where it's a part of me now. It is kind of surreal to think now there were days on end I woul

It works by helping the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Liraglutide injection also slows the emptying of the stomach and may decrease appetite and cause weight loss. It's been a couple of days and I'm having some trouble with nausea. I've found that
