So these are the meds that work by making you pee sugar? And the problem is that bacteria eats the sugar and causes urinary tract infection? Scary. I know some people on these types of drugs.

I was supposed to start on Farxiga a couple of months ago. I had seen something like this already, so I've been putting it off trying to work on stabilizing BG with changes to diet and exercise. I see fairly good results if I'm good about a low carb diet, but it's still hard for me to follow all the time.
