A new treatment option will soon be available to people with type 2 diabetes with the FDA?s approval on Friday of Invokana, a first-in-class medication to lower blood sugar. Johnson & Johnson?s Invokana (generic name canagliflozin) attacks blood sugar right from the get go, reducing the amount of sugar absorbed from food into the bloodstream. The body then flushes the excess sugar out in the urine.
