Diabetes, Type 2
"Started with 1000 mg Metformin ( took one pill 4 times a day!) in summer 2015 - bad, bad diarrhea. Changed to 100 mg /day Januvia  - only had bad diarrhea - Late summer 2016 started in Invokana - Starting in November I&#039;ve had 3 yeast infections thru Jan 1, 2017. Also very thirsty - no hair loss - yet! - some leg cramping - painful in the calves of my legs - blood sugar control ok - I used to be 5.0 (for 10 years) on insulin. Then Doc said I&#039;m over 65 so my blood sugarts (A1Cs) should be higher so I don&#039;t go low - but in all the years I&#039;ve entertained diabetes (since 1991) I&#039;ve never gone low - so I don&#039;t understand this concern. Am seeing doc on Jan 9 - have to see where it goes from here - everyone is right about the yeast infections "
