Diabetologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Since you are a diabetes patient, there is a need to know the FBG, PP blood glucose as well as HbA1c%, body weight, height, dietary pattern and extent of daily exercise. The weight loss that you have complained of is observed with Invokana as well as Forxiga as both these drugs send out extra glucose from the urine and help in maintaining proper blood glucose. Weight loss is particularly observed if a person is over weight. Plus if a person has uncontrolled blood glucose even then there is a possibility of considerable weight loss.

Since there is no information given all the above mentioned parameters, it is difficult to say why weight loss has occurred. Maintaining strict blood glucose levels like FBG

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prabhakar Laxman Jathar, Diabetologist
