Invokana Helps My Type 1 Diabetes

I emailed my endo ahead of time to give her a heads up that I wanted to discuss going on Invokana. Unfortunately, she wasn't familiar with use of Invokana in Type 1 diabetes, or how insulin should be adjusted when on it. I sent her all of the research articles I could find related to Type 2 therapies being explored for Type 1. Luckily for me, and much to her credit, she was willing to prescribe it to me off label to give it a try.
