" I am on both Glucophage and Glipizide. The doctor says I can control the glipizide. If my sugar falls too low I can cut it in half or take whatever I need. But I still think I am going to look for someone who specializes in Diabetes. This one tells me just loosing weight will stop the diabetes in me. But I know skinny diabetics ???? Exercise and food control is key. "
