Diabetes, Type 2
"I just started using glipizide 5 mg 3 weeks ago in combination with  metforming 1000mg twice a day.  It is a powerful medicine as I noticed my sugar was 300 and 3 hours later it was down to 100.  My body was shaking and my stomach was not feeling well.  I was told to take medication and eat 30 minutes later and then take metforming after meal.  Since my numbers didn&#039;t go much over 150 doctor said we didn&#039;t need to up to the 10mg a day she thought I would need after the 3 weeks.  I was avoiding insulin and was prescribed glipizide, I realize I must start doing it without it. Just use one medication or my stomach will suffer. I had a belly ache and later had to go to the toilet. I also have headaches and need more lotion since I am itchier."
