Has anyone heard of this ? Sounds to good to be true because my glucose only spikes from time to time and this is an Insilin stimulator in a tab ? Also Dr. told me to reduce protein intake due to reduced kidney function ? That is how I have acheived the goals I have and I am still loosing fat and find this hard to do ? Seems drug would take care of protein for muscles ? Advise please ?
Glipizide
Glipizide is used along with diet and exercise, and sometimes with other medications, to treat type 2 diabetes (condition in which the body does not use insulin normally and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood). Glipizide is in a class of medications called sulfonylureas. Glipizide lowers blood sugar by causing the pancreas to produce insulin (a natural substance that is needed to break down sugar in the body) and helping the body use insulin efficiently. "GOOD I THINK" ? This medication will only help lower blood sugar in people whose bodies produce insulin naturally. Glipizide is not used to treat type 1 diabetes (condition in which the body does not produce insulin and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood) or diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious condition that may occur if high blood sugar is not treated) Thoughts and opinions ? Has anyone heard of this ?
