Diabetes, Type 2
"I have been on juniva and metformin for years. It has kept my weight and sugar levels between 91-135. For some reason my doctor decided to take me off that medication and put me on glipizide. In one month I had gained 15 pounds and my blood sugars were in the high 100&#039;s low 200&#039;s. After two months she decided to switch me back on to juniva. A bit late I think by blood sugar is now up into the 300&#039; reds&#039; and I have packed on another 15 pds. The glipizide ruined my blood sugars and an extra bonus it made me gain weight. DO NOT TAKE GLIPIZIDE FOR A FIRST SECOND OR THIRD CHOICE. TRY EVERYTHING ELSE FIRST!!!! There&#039;s no out of pocket experience but you pay dearly with your health."
