Has anyone tried it?

It’s my first full day without taking medicine and was wondering how long does it take for meds to leave one’s system. My last dose of glypicide was at 9am yesterday?

That is one great sandwich but is it a bad thing? I normally eat (in the morning when I get to work) that or cheerios with(lactose free/fat free milk), but some weeks I switch it up if I cannot find the Lactid milk at a nearby grocery store.

Since I have been diagnosed, I have been getting this odd sweet/slightly chemical annoying smell that seems like it is coming thru my pores except no one can smell it. My BG has averaged about 100 since my diagnosis and I am on glypicide 2.5 mg twice a day. My doc said something about it might be from my body processing food/sugar etc.(he’s a resident, nice guy), but I’ve had that smell most of today and I’ve had very little sugar. Any help?

Was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic in October ’09 after complaining of frequent urination/dry mouth over a 2 week period after a cortisone shot. My blood sugar was 680 and I think my A1c was like 10(will check with the doc tommorow).

I spent a weekend in the hospital being treated and was sent home with Glypizide and Metformin. After two days I was back in the er dehydrated and nauseated. The Metformin was scaled back from 1000 to 500mg’s a day. After a few days I was back in the er as I was suffering yet more side effects from Metformin and the decision was made by the doc’s to take me off of it as my Blood Sugar numbers were pretty normal. I go back to the doc tommorow for my 1st A1c check in 3 months. My blood sugar numbers average about 100 since I learned to use the glucometer. I’ve lost about 15 pounds so far and I have awhole lot to go, lol!
