Several months ago, my then MD (Dr. Azzi) said my blood sugar was a little too good and was worried that it was just too low for my own good. So he took me off the 5 mg glipizide. I was taking this twice a day. He put me on Artos.
Now, my A1C has gone from 7.0- to 8.1 and my new MD is pissed at me., Said new MD has put me back on 10 mg glipizide once a day (my choice). I bought the glipzide this afternoon and have already taken my first dose. It should be interesting to see just what comes of this.
The good news is he didn't use the "I" word (insulin).
I also confess I lost the bubble in August when my blood sugsar meter went tits up. I told the VA and they gave me the telephone number of a place to called., That place sent me an envelop to mail in my broken meter. They also sent some calibration liquids and test stripes for calibration. I have been frozen and have not acted on testing this new meter. I will handle this come Sunday.
