For Type 2 Diabetes "Works very well in lowering glucose levels; however, significant side effects. Substantial weight gain regardless of diet/exercise, stomach pain, nausea, bloating, burning/tingling sensation in hands/feet, all of which remit when the drug is stopped. I give a rating of 5 due to fantastic effectiveness at lowering glucose, but the side effects can be substantial."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Ever since I was taken off Metformin and was prescribed Glipizide ER, my A1C has drastically gone up to 8, and I've gained weight. My abdomen is huge, as if I am 9 months pregnant."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I'm male, 52, and have been a diabetic for 11 years. For eight of those years, I was prescribed glipizide, and it worked very well for me in keeping my glucose levels under control. The only adverse side effect that I experienced was sensitivity to the sun and to my computer screen. Sunscreen lotion with SPF 30 protection solved that problem. A new PCP tried to switch me to metformin, but I was intolerant to that medicine (bloating and diarrhea)."
