User Reviews for glipizide oral

Took Glipizide for 2 years problems with low blood sugar (40-60)mostly in morning. Doctor changed me to Nateglinide. Took that for 13 days good numbers BUT horrible constipation. Had to take double doses of laxatives to clear bowels. Back to Glipizide 2.5 mg

Had been on Glipizide for over 2 years started with 10mg, levels dropped too low. Went to 5 still too low, than on 2.5mg levels fluctuate too high too low 40-50 readings. Doctor just yesterday took me off of it. Took my first new pill ( nateglinide) with breakfast, 2 hrs after eating blood glucose 55. I eat the same thing every morning. Take Metoformin 1000mg twice a day. Gonna give it a couple of weeks.

doesn't seem to work. My a1c hasn't improved by much since I started taking it.

The glipizide 10 mg XL pill with proper id has wo9rked well for 10 years. Walmart has made a substitution without proper id on the pill. It does not provide nec results. Can I insist on a generic with the proper id on the pills. ie; glipizide ER 10 mg??

my husband is 56 since he has been on this med his sugars are unpredictable. After eating today his sugar dropped to 30. yesterday the same thing happened after eating. Last week in dropped to 57,again after eating.His vision gets blurry,chills cold sweats,shaking weakness, tingling hands.

THIS MEDICATION MAKES MY BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS BOTTOM OUT ON ME AT BED TIME.

I've been on this medication for 3 wks and my blood sugar has soared higher that it's ever been. 250-350 before meals. Completely ineffective. Metformin was much better & I hpoe to go back to it.

Average fasting blood sugar dropped from mid 130s to mid 120s. I continue to exercise one and one half hours daily. Aic test coming up tomorrow and I expect to test out at about 6.8---Down from 7.3 last test.

works good to lower blood sugar but had to stop because i had terrible,severe back pain i had to stop using it.

I was on Glipizide XL 10 MG and it kept my blood sugar in the low 100 started on glipizide oral 10 mg and my blood sugar went to 300 after eating my blood sugar has never been this high at most 200. getting of this crap ASAP!!! and back to Glepizide 10 mg XL !

Just starting to take this drug.

Started taking this drug (5 mg 2x day)7+ years ago and was working fine, except for weight gain. Then A1C started to increase and Dr upped dose to 7.5 mg, then 10mg. Noticed weight gain, dizziness, nausea, and lower back pain that is very uncomfortable. Went back to 7.5 mg. but noticed my daily readings are not that great anymore, running between 160 to 270. Seeing Dr soon to see what he suggests. I fear the higher dosage may have sensitized me to the drug and now it is bothering me even at lower dosage.Read More Read Less

I have been taking glipizide for 2 weeks. Have noticed back pain and headaches that I didn't have before. I don't seem to have the diarrhea issues that I had with Metformin. That was the reason for trying it. May have to go back to metformin if the headaches and back aches continue, and buy stock in Immodium.

On 5mg 2x a day.Hungry all the time and was already battling some vacation weight game. Metformin was not an option..Hypoglycemia is also a regular happening even on a schedule.

This medication taken 1/2 hour before breakfast has kept my A1C normal and I really can eat anything my wife prepares. The only thing I have to give up is sugar. If I feel I must sweeten something, I use Splenda. This has worked for 15 years. I was on Metformin before, but it didn't work nearly as well for me. If I am very active, I may have to eat some sweets, since anytime my glucose drops into the 80s, I will begin to feel weak and if drops into the 70s, I will feel clammy and then I have to eat something sweet so I take a candy bar and that is a treat for me. I am more than happy with the results I get while using Glipizide.Read More Read Less

Januvia did not bring down my sugar count. Combined with Glipizide, it is now in the low 100-range. HOWEVER, I have constant hypoglcemia [even on 2.5mg] and must compensate to offset. Also now experiencing chronic, severe lower back and leg pain

Ive been taking both glipizide 5mg and metformin 1000 mg. The glipizide makes me feel hungry even when I eat good healthy meals. So I drink more water and snack on low cal and low fat wheat/fiber crackers.
