I have decided to do away with both metformin and glipizide because of the side affects and I've replaced it with raw apple cider vinegar which works better and it's lower my A-1C levels

Thank you for the video. It was very informative. I was on a corticosteroid for three weeks that wreaked havoc with my blood sugar (I have no history of blood sugar issues). I have been proscribed Glipizide ER to control the blood sugar. Now that I am off the steroids I am feeling much better and the Glipizide tends to drop my blood sugar in the afternoon quite a bit. I hope to be off Glipizide soon, and I am monitoring my blood sugar several times a day to make sure that I do not crash. Your description of low blood sugar was spot on for me. I had virtually all of the symptoms. Your video helped me to put this all in perspective. Well done.

Great video. I have a 2 questions:
1. Since Glipizide forces the pancreas to release more insulin, isn’t that an additional strain on my already strained ( T2D, ) pancreatic beta cells? Won’t they wear out even faster?
2. Since insulin also shunts excess glucose back to my liver to be converted to triglycerides for storage, does that exacerbate my NAFLD?

Thanks for the information Doctor, now I know what to do

Glipizide has no effect on my sugars at all. 20 mg on empty stomach. 30 min later same sugars, even at 1 hr, no change.

If this makes the pancreas, create more insulin, and I am insulin resistant, why would this work for me?

I work out 5 days a week Monday through Friday for 1 hour maybe 10 minutes and I've noticed the first time taken the glipizide I was very constipated it's only been 2 days I stopped taking metformin about a year ago because my mom died from kidney failure and I had a few other friends that have died from taking that took metformin so now I'm only on the glipizide and I'm going to start watching my blood sugars but my question to you is should I be concerned about the constipation

[ravii]

What is the replacement for this ?? Kindly guide

I'm trying to figure out how to help someone that doesn't want to help themselves. Because that is a "you can't help someone if they don't want to help themselves.
