Diabetes, Type 2
"I took invokana for 9 months after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last December. I also changed my eating habits, no junk ,no fried foods, no soda, no sweets and low carb. I lost 47 pounds not sure how much the invokana helped with that .  I did get a wicked yeast infection that never went away .  After researching invokana and realizing how bad some of the side effects can be (kidney cancer or kidney failure), I asked Dr to take me off it, he did as long as I&#039;m keeping blood sugar down in normal range . It&#039;s been 3 months and so far I&#039;m controlling it with diet and exercise. I test my own blood sugar every day and its in normal range. I&#039;d rather do it this way as long as I can. Invokana wasn&#039;t worth the risk, rather try metformin."
