[|AI|]  Hello and thank you for asking! I have gone carefully through your concern and understood your query! Glipizide is a class of antidiabetic medications that causes hypoglycemia or low blood sugar. Your doctor will prescribe another medication in the next visit that does not have hypoglycemia as side effect (metformin for e.g.), depending on the HbA1c level, BMI, liver and renal function etc. Meanwhile, if you are overweight I would suggest seeing a dietitian and do physical activity. If the fasting glucose levels, persist high, take 2.5 mg glipizide once daily. Hope the information will help. Kind regards, Chat Doctor.
