Article is unbalanced

This article is very unbalanced. It is very strange for an article like this to devote almost 3/4 of the text to potential side effects, while hardly even mentioning any potential benefits. It clearly must have a positive risk/benefit ratio because it has been approved by the FDA for treatment of type II diabetes, but the article is skewed to make the reader think otherwise.

Added a bit about benefits. The side effects section is still somewhat misleading as it uses primary sources and what J&J told investors, which often isn't really relevant medically. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 12:55, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Contraindications Section is incorrect.

The sodium-glucose transport protein inhibitor canagliflozin does not become ineffective with type I diabetes nor is there a reason it should. There are likely numerous reasons the USFDA hasn't approved it for type I treatment but the fact remains that it is quite effective in type 1 treatment. Many endocrinologists have already begun prescribing it with great success. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slartimacfast (talkcontribs) 23:13, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What text in the source supports the text in question?

Added "Other sources recommend Canagliflozin as a preferred treatment for those not adequately controlled on metformin." with 3 references. Physicians have differing opinions and I thought it right to include both.Daveburstein (talk) 23:58, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Other sources recommend Canagliflozin as a preferred treatment for those not adequately controlled on metformin.[1][2]"

The ref does not even mention canagliflozin? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 19:06, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As a longevity drug
