Is drinking sugar drinks while on invokana a bad thing to do.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Certainly not good!: Invokana (canaglifozin = http://www.drugs.com/invokana.html) is a diabetes medication designed to make you pee out excess sugar by lowering threshold. By drinking sugary pop, you're just putting more sugar into your body thus counteracting any potential benefit from taking medication. Best for you drink water instead. Better yet, go see Diabetes Educator & Nutritionist re what to eat/drink.
