It may be very: helpful, but you should discuss it with your doctor as it's a prescription medication.

Inkovana Rx: This class of diabetic medication can help lower glucose values without causing weight gain. It promotes glucose loss in urine. Thus, it also has a diuretic like action which can dehydrate a person and can cause blood pressures to drop. These occurrences are not prohibitive but awareness is important. Be sure to discuss these points with your doc and ask about your med program re bp meds.
