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't go much over 150 doctor said we didn'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."
