Glipzide, must be like my glyburide I'm thinking. It's supposed to take the sugar out of the blood or something. Big hugs to you Gus, I kind of feel like I've had similar struggles with my doctor. He doesn't really care. It sure seems so. I was so depressed I asked him once, what happens if I just stop taking the medicine. He basically, not even looking at me, said "you'll get dehydrated and die", as he continued walking out the door. I wasn't being stupid, but maybe looking for a doctor that actually cared, as I was explaining my high sugar readings and my shakes and sweating at night. Some days I think of my doc as an idiot. Venting can help. Today I only ate some soup and half sandwich, I don't know why, anxiety is making me lose my appetite I'm guessing, but I have to force myself to eat something soon.
