Glipizide for Type 2 Diabetes "When I first started taking Glipizide-ER 5mg along with Trulicity once a week, also metformin 1000mg in the a.m. and 1000 mg at night. My blood sugars (BS) were dropping to 100-110. I also have insulin as needed on a sliding scale. I refilled my medicine, but maybe from a different manufacturer, my BS is reading 195-255. I'm constipated, moody as heck, dizzy in the morning. I bounce off the walls like a pinball machine, not to mention that I have gained a lot of weight. I have not changed my diet, not much exercise because I feel like rubbish all the time. Tonight I threw the medicine in the trash. It's bad stuff with too many side effects."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I have been taking metformin, maximum dose for 8 years. Not working to bring down BS. Doctor put me on glipizide 5 mg in AM & PM. Not helping with BS control at all. Horrible side effects: dizziness, nausea, sore throat, cold symptoms, drowsiness."

For Type 2 Diabetes "After having a severe reaction to Metformin, the doctor put me on Glipizide. While I don't faint on this medication, the side effects have been horrible for me. My sugar does seem to be better after being high for so long, it's finally below 160 most of the time. However, I am severely dizzy and foggy-headed constantly, to the point I stopped driving. I also have a bad lower backache, nausea, and stomach upset any time I eat, blurry vision (I have perfect vision, so this bothers me), and I've noticed some changes in my emotional response to things as well, such as anger and a bit of depression - which I've never had. The effects have been bad enough that I've had to take off work several days in a row as well as miss school."
