Non-diabetics taking SGLT2 inhibitors (Jardiance, Invokana, etc.)—what is your experience?

My experience, maybe more frequent for a couple days, then normalizes.

I never noticed any frequency at all. My UA had 3+ glucose so it is working.

If you eat a lot of cookies/cakes etc (like I do) you will not urinate any more often (surprise!). But it takes Sodium to eliminate glucose. Sodium really really seems to drop in my N=1. You may find yourself generally weaker if you don’t take a high sodium electrolyte supplement like LMNT or equivalent, a few times/week depending on your chocolate intake! I find SGLT2i an amazing, zero side effect, medication for myself. I cannot tolerate GLPa and I find that my weight and appetite is well moderated with Empagliflozin.,

SGL2i’s do not affect sodium excretion.
