Has anyone found that gliperide along with Byetta and Metformin lowers their sugar to a dangerous low? My Endocrinologist just started me on Gliperide due to my A1c being at 8. I've had several very low episodes, I did contact the Dr. And I've been directed to cut the pill in half. Still my numbers are running low for me. Thank you

Not real low, I just changed taking my Metformin in a.m. and after dinner, and taking the Glipizide at bedtime which is helping me tremendously with the a.m. blood glucose number (94-112) for the past two weeks. I did the home test today on the A1C(I get labs done in two weeks) and my number was 7.0(still having trouble getting it down in the 6 range). any suggestions on that?

I'll talk to my doctor about that. I think that the Byetta I inject has a side effect with the Gliperide mostly.

I don't have a problem with really low A1Cs but I am only on Metformin. 1000 mg twice a day. Some days I forget.
