YEAH AND 582 DOLLARS A MONTH AND YOU CANT USE MANUFACTURER COUPONS BECAUSE OF CVS, EXPRESS SCRIPTS ETC.

It's pretty cool that 28% reversed their diabetes with just the diet (I know it's a tough road)
Having the drugs to add to that will give people more options, but there are a few FDA warnings

Is this SGLT-2 looking better than Empagliflozin (Jardiance)?

Calling it “reversing diabetes” makes it sound like a cure. I think remission is more accurate and glad you added that.

But I don't wanna reduce my calories.

A1C is notoriously fickle, particularly in menstruating women. It’s really time we update our diagnostics for such a prevalent disease. The gold standard for women should probably not be A1C, but possibly oral glucose tolerance testing.
