Starting with the concerns in post #46, the conclusion is that the FDA has added a "black box" warning to Invokana as of this week.

Knowing Robin's story and the high increased risk for amputations, this drug should have been pulled from market. Do you think the drug detail sales teams will highlight this warning to doctors? User be aware of risks with SGLT2 inhibitors.

Most of this thread is about adjusting DIABETES medications.

Be aware that BLOOD PRESSURE also needs to be monitored carefully and possibly BP medications may need to be reduced.

If you’re on blood pressure medication and start a low-carb diet there’s a risk of getting low blood pressure. You may relatively quickly become too healthy for your medication.

This blood pressure lowering effect on low carb can happen within days, but it may also take months or even a year to reach full effect.

If you feel weak, tired, dizzy etc. you should check your blood pressure. If it’s low, e.g. below 120/80, you should contact your doctor to discuss lowering or stopping your medication.
