    I have been taking Invokana 100mg for almost two months now and have really started to see in improvement in my blood sugar levels. I am following a low-carb diet and so far I have lost 17 lbs. I am drinking plenty of fluids and haven't had a trouble from side-effects, so I am very happy with it.

    I have been on this Med for over 6 months with no noticeable side effects. A1c dropped from 7.1 to 6.2. Haven't had a real noticeable weight loss but I am an admitted carbaholic. Still working on the diet and hope to get off the meds eventually.
