I have type two diabetis i was on met formin and went on a trial study of inovkana for 18 months I lost 65 lbs and blood surger was controlled. Study stopped not available in Canada. Dr put me on Junumet 50 /1000 two times a day. Now he has added Diamicron 30 mg twicw per day. Fasting in mornings still 8 to 9.5

Dear sir
i can understand your concern.
in my opinion your doctor gave a very good prescription.
the medication Inovkana is a SGLT2 inhibitor which helps you to loose weight by throwing sugar away from your body in urine.
in my opinion the medications given by doctor are far better and very well studied than inovkana.
in case if you are very interested in taking the medication you can get in countries like india and USA.
