    Anyone using Canagliflozin/Invokana

    Thank you. Will give it a go when I actually get to see my lady Dr. Her appointments are like gold dust. Will report back after I have seen her but don't hold your breath. By the way, I tried to buy some Canestan over the counter but was told they don't give it to people under 16 or over 60.
