Glipizide is used to treat type 2 diabetes in people who cannot lower blood sugar sufficiently through lifestyle changes (such as weight loss, diet, and exercise). It works by increasing the production of insulin in the pancreas. It may also help to lower blood sugar by improving insulin resistance.
