Hi, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in early December 2010. I was put on Metformin which, after 3 weeks, made me very ill. So I discontinued that. Since January 2011, I've been taking Glipizide..10mg twice a day. I recently had a fasting lab B/S done, and it was 197. My doctor put me back on Metformin 5 days ago, but the extended release version.
My question is this: I have not seen a real reduction in my B/S. Now I have not made any dietary changes yet, but shouldn't I see some kind of reduction just from taking these medicines? I hope someone can help with this. I'm really worried. I woke up with this morning with a fasting 219. Thank you all in advance.
