The doc put me on Jardiance which is the same class of med as Invokana but doesn't have an interaction with Digoxin which I also take.
In three days I've stopped all but 6 units of NPH insulin at night (helps with dawn phenomena) and have dropped 3 lbs. All of which is water considering I'm peeing twice the amount as before.
I got side tracked diet-wise last week and my weight bumped up a couple of pounds but am back to 30-40 grams of carb beginning today and plan on doing two 24 hour fasts this week.
I hope I might be able to get off insulin completely with the combination of IF and LC but Jardiance doesn't seem to be lasting a full 24 hours -- maybe it will build up in my system after a time and I can completely stop the insulin.
