User Reviews for glipizide oral

works well in the morning, but by evening sugar is back up.

I have been on this medication several times,but it has not done anything for me. It increases my blood sugar, causes severe rashes and head aches. My dosage is 30mg x 2 a day. My doctor cannot figure out why the reactions are so severe.

Actually I feel that the drug has made no significant difference in my treatment. I have taken it for years along with metformin. I took metformin alone for years before adding the glipizide and my blood sugar numbers and A1C's have turned out basically at the same levels.

I recently started taking glipizide5mg again. First time my blood spikes were to low..dropping to 60 then back to 250. We cut the dose to half a pill and I take it half hour before each meal. Readings have been 200 before and average 120-160 after. This of course depends on what you eat too. Don't expect big results if you are eating fast food or high sugar meals. By changing my diet I'm hoping this will work. As for a1c testing ; I just started and I'm 8 right now..we will see how effective this is in 3 months. I'll be back! ;)Read More Read Less

I am 65 and have had type 2 diabetes for 10 years. Take 2 glipizide daily along with 1 metformin pill. After breakfast pill, I have diahrea attack. Even with pills and high dose of insullin-Lantus, my A1C's are 9, which is high. This disease seems to be getting worse steadily, even though I take pills and insullin and watch my diet. I am getting discouraged.

I am 77 years old and have been taking Glipizide for more than 2 years. It keeps my blood sugar in check. no side effects.

i start getting nose bleed,i stopped takeing the medication for about a month, and my nose bleed stopped,i just started takeing it again and the nose bleed started again.i dont know if this medication is worth take it.

it makes you gain weight

It helped me get on tract with my blood sugars almost immediately. My A1C came down two points the fitst month.

easy to take but my sugar still high

Diarrhea after morning and noon meal After dinner no problem.

My levels are to high and I have had weight gain. I am very upset with the weight gain. I cannot find a suitable time to take it due to other medications,so therefore it has been very fustrating for me.

Was diagnosed with Type 2 12/2007. I'm 60 years. old now. Glipizide and Metformin were prescribed. Blood suger dropped to 60. Got chills, dizzzy and stomach aches.The doctor panicked and reduced dosage. Took only half tablet glip a day. Worked better but still was subject chills. I realized, after being seen by other doctors, that treating Type 2 Diabetes isn't an exact science. I cut out a most soda and other sugary intake, and added more exercise. Blood sugar around 130. By the the way, an extensive study was done by doctors, it heard on the news about a year ago, that a Type 2 diabetic's normal is different than a non diabetic's normal.It showed that some Type 2 Diabetics actually died as a result of reducing a Type 2 Diabetic's blood sugar level to that of a non Diabetic's.
