[|Human|] My husband is type 2 diabetic. Takes Metformin 1000 2 x daily, Glipizide 5mg. 1 x daily, excerizes at the gym 5 x a wk. & still his glucose reading every morning is 350. Dr wants to add Farxiga 10 mg. but too expensive for us. Is there an alternative or another med that would work?
[|AI|]  Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor You should take tab Metformin 500 mg two times. Tab Glipizide 5 mg once a day and tab Pioglitazone 10 mg once a day. After 10 days repeat test as under check sugar in morning in fasting state and then 2 hours after breakfast. Fasting level should be below 140 and 2 hrs should be below 200 If no effect dosage of Glipizide should be made at two times. If you have any further query then you can come back to Chat Doctor I will definitely help you and guide you appropriately. With regards
