Hi @borderter

Sorry to hear you’re struggling. You really need to discuss this with your GP/nurse. No-one here can advise on the appropriateness of this medication for you. Hope you’re able to get some answers.

Borderter, as Goonergal suggests, this is a conversation to have with your Doctor.

Have you read the NICE guidance on Canagliflozin? It mentions renal impairment:
