I started working out at the gym, exercising 3 times a week. Not long after that, I started getting nueropathy in my feet, (a terrible burning pain), due too high blood sugars, as a result of diabetes. So, I started doing intermittent fasting, 3 4o 5 times a week, of 12 to 16 hours per day! At the same time, I started taking B1, B12, B5, for the neuropathy. It has pretty much disappeared, Thank you , Jesus! I also have been drinking real lemon juice with water, all through out the day, and so far have lost 11 lbs. in 8 weeks time! A first for me! I also cut out sugary foods, most carbs, and try to primarily eat, veggies, fruit, protein, nuts, and seeds! I have given up most snacking. No matter where you are in your journey, it's never too late to start taking care of yourself. Don't give up! . God Bless everyone!
I was on 120 mg of Gliclazide + 1000 mg of Metformin. My doctor wanted me to go on insulin. I removed insulin spiking food. Blood sugar is under control. Not hungry all the time. Slowly losing weight. My doctor is monitoring my progress. My last A1C was down and I hope the next A1C test will be even better.
I was diagnosed with Diabetes 3 months ago. My Dr. Prescribed Victoza. My A1C last week was 5.7. I have learned so much from you. So I do understand so much more than My sister. Of course I want her to watch your videos. I am 67 and she is 68. She has had uncontrolled diabetes for a long time. I am doing everything that I can and I am feeling great. Thank you so much.
@@SugarMDs Doctor I am glad to have found you..myself have diabetics my doctor prescribes metformin and glipizide..my weight is normal..but have no appetite lately..to be honest lately avoid metformin due to info,S heard..any advise ? Thanks kindly..
Hi Doc I am so disappointed about myself. My sugar level is going up and up day by day. I need advice. I want to bring my sugar level down and maintain from there. I have tried keto for almost 3 years and intermittent fasting. I was feeling good though sugar level was just below 10. Then I moved to low carb diet now I have lost control of my sugar levels . I don’t want medication but my nurse kept on saying I have to take medicine. Please advise. She asked me to take gliclazide.
How sad 14 yrs ago I was put on metformin and gliberide without any real instructions and direction. We didn't have the internet and access to the information we do now. Thank you for this valuable information.
Thank you so much for this video! I was prescribed glipizide and told just take it and you’ll be fine. Half into the month I noticed I was feeling fatigued and nauseous. I wasn’t told that it would drop my blood sugar and needed to monitor it . I ended up having a seizure and it was the worst day ever . Thank you for this video
Really important!! When I was first diagnosed we discovered that after a reasonable trial of metformin, I simply couldn't tolerate it. I had diarrhoea every day for 3 weeks. Awful. I was moved onto Gliclazide (UK) and have been on it for about 7 or 8 years. Had no problems but after this video I'm going to ask to come off them. My older brother has type 2 also and was recently moved from metformin to ozempic. He has a number of other health problems but he's finding it much better... And he is glad to be free of the awful flatulence associated with metformin! I had no idea that gliclazide has such a devastating effect on the pancreas. I hope I'm not too late to benefit from a change. Thanks very much for the seriously vital info.
Outstanding video thank you! I cannot believe my endocrinologists and internists never explained these medications to me when my kidney function was already marginally reduced! I ended up havjng cold sweats and bg of 50 and even lower during the night. Since stopping sulfonylureas a year ago I no longer have those dangerous low bg episodes. Now I understand why. Thank you.
Difference is Glimepiride is $5 a month and the GLP-1's are $1,000 Currently it's 8:33 pm. I've taken 2 mg Glimepiride today and haven't eaten in 38 hours. glucose is still at around 120. I also take 2,000 metformin a day. I was fairly under control until a course of oral steroids. That was 2 months ago and things still haven't returned to normal.
Dark board markers are a better choice for videos. I cannot really see much of anything written in red and the blue is a strain. Black is a better option.
The information you give is so vital to so many of us.. I need to know some of your answers to high blood sugar,what not to eat,liver function,serious kidney problems ! Thank you for being here ..
I had my blood sugar under really good control for years then eating the same they started going up up up. I was keto and fasting then asked for glipizide because I felt like my met Forman was not working anymore, glipizide made my numbers come way down but hearing this now I feel hopeless. Diet and exercise is not working for me like other people but I won’t stay on glipizide after this 😓😓
Me neither metformin gave me a recurrent rash that looked like alien total body ringworm, irregular colon cleanse and worst yet nausea in the middle of the night where u salivate like a st Bernard but can't throw up. Three tries on that 3 recurances of the above no more. Tried rybelsus that made me feel like I had the flu all the time quit that. Now on jardiance tolerate that but suspect it makes my feet feel numb as that's less when I don't take it. Hey there is no med without side effects potentially as bad as what u take it for
Excellent. Thank you. Unfortunately today half knowledge doctors are slowly killing the diabetic patients by ignorance or casualness. Please turn the board to viewers and use dark coloured pens.
I was on glipizide for maybe 6 months, but it kept dropping my blood sugars to low...came dangerously close to diabetic coma, a few times. It also made me feel a knawing hunger all the time, and then I found myself eating and eating...I went off of it. 2 years later, I had to start using Insulin...I don't recommend the glipizide for anyone.
Do you think the glipizide caused you to require insulin after 6 months use? How many mg's were you prescribed? Do you think it's still bad even if only taken once a day?
Thank you for posting your experience. I just got glipizide 2.5 ER, I'm scared to take it. I've already changed my diet to low carb. Think I'll just stay with the diet change. Don't want the med.
This is 💯 percent correct.I had to eat too much on suphanylurea.I used to feel hungry in 2 hours.And if I don't eat well ,I used to faint. Excellent work you are doing letting people know the truth. Being in the medical line myself...all what you say is absolutely correct. Right now I am on metformin.
Thank you for watching and commenting. Appreciate it. Keep watching our videos and don't forget to share them with your family and friends. Learn more about Metformin: ua-cam.com/video/a4XKoxs33Ms/v-deo.html
Umm, while i agree with no carbs = better, thats almost impossible, taking into consideration what you get from too much protein's. People need to know what Type 2 really means.
@@sinnisota2831 type 2 means all the carbs you eat turn to sugar and spike your insulin levels. My A1C went from 6.8 to 5.5 in 3 months eating almost no carbs. Plus I am not a big meat eater. I do eat a lot of eggs.
@@Nightbird.yes, I’ve read a lot of good things about this. I’ve also read that along with your diet plan, intermittent fasting helps to reduce weight and lower blood sugar levels. This will allow the body to maintain healthy cholesterol levels too.
One drug I will NOT take is Invokana. I watched my dad go through 2 amputations before his death in 1991 and I'm not planning on being next. I'm recently diagnosed and terrified of this happening to me.
@sherribaker, I took Invokana several years ago, and within a week or so, I had a raging yeast infection that took about a month to clear up. A few years ago, my doctor put me on Jardiance. It started out great, and I lost weight pretty quickly. Alas, after about 3 or 4 months, I developed a much worse yeast infection. This one took more than 3 MONTHS to clear up. I was miserable, and I took so much Diflucan I now wonder if it will ever work for me again if I need it. I’m watching this video very carefully, because I am also on Glimiperide. I plan to ask my GP about this when I see him in a few weeks.
I had a massive heart attack when on gliclazide alone. Before that I had a mild attack when on gliburide and comboglize. This was preceded by dizzy spells on gliburide and metformin.
Sulfonylureas are the first kind of medication that has actually worked for me; metformin and Jardiance had very little effect. I am curious if/how the advice given here would change for people who have non-typical profiles (diagnosed in 20s, extremely lean/thin, third-gen diabetic). For example, for people who are suspected to have MODY, I see sulfonylureas frequently cited as the recommended treatment. I am immediately skeptical of a video that says you should "NEVER" take a medication when many of us are prescribed these medications by endocrinologists who are experts in their field and well-versed in the drawbacks of each treatment.
I've been taking glyburide for over twenty years, for me it's a lot safer then taking metformin. I have neuropathy in my feet and legs spreading into my hands. Diabetes sucks!
I'm on a strict keto diet and walk 4.5 miles a day, and take metformin, but my blood glucose is still 200 in the morning and stays around that all day. It goes up some when I eat and it comes back down to 200 and not below. I eat no carbs, yet it's still 200. After a 4 mile walk it may come down to 160, but it will rise back up to 200 within a couple hours. I just started glimeperide and after my walk I may be around 100. I've never been low. After a few hours my blood sugar rises to to about 150 as the glimepiride wears off. Glimepiride takes several hours to start lowering my blood sugar.
You are not on a strict keto diet if your blood sugar is 200 unless you work in a chocolate factory and is subjected to inhalations. Stop being delusional.
hmmmm if your walking daily like that AND doing keto like u say ur sugar should definitely be lower within a month with the meds ur on..weightloss helps a ton too but u may need to take a closer look at ur carb intake,. u shouldn't be hitting that high on a keto diet doesn't make sense lol
How are you now? If your glucose stays up like hat you may be type 1.5 aka late onset type 1 aka your pancreas has left the building. Might be important to monitor your blood ketones and glucose, check pancreatic antibodies and probably start taking external insulin.
Thank so much for sharing doctor, I will not taking Gliclazide 30mg anymore I will stopped right away, I will use metformin only one a day. I tried to reverse my diabetic 2, I'm prefer not using any medications. I'm changed food already avoiding Carbs, I'm vegan now ate one day meal. My blood sugar and cholesterol is lower. I feel great in my body. Thanks again for you information I'm appreciate it.
@@SugarMDshi doctor could you recommend me which one I can replace GLICLAZIDE. I had used before 4 metformin and 4 GLICLAZIDE a day. Since seven years ago I had changed my food my blood sugar is going low from 8,9 in the morning to 5 and 5,5. Now I use one metformin and one GLICLAZIDE a day, I'm avoiding Carbs and sugar I'm Vegan now. I walked every and exercises CARDIO. Please give me one of them I can replace it. Thanks Sugar MDs
Did he say mellitus in the beginning? I had a hard time understanding in the beginning :(. If he did say it, what is he saying about it? I'm sorry to ask.. I wish I could see the blackboard :(
I have mody diabetes. My pancreas release little insulin. Many doctors have no clue. My a1c was 5.7 , my fasting c peptide almost normal and I have no insulin resistance. Yet I had polyuria, fatigue, weight loss, brain fog. Symptoms like type 1 diabetes but with no antibodies. So I took alone 4mg glimepiride per day and all symptoms gone.
I found out about Glipizide when I read a Kaiser Family Foundation report that said patients 70 and over should not take it. I was researching my Mom's meds when I found it.
Doc I am Type 2 and taking Metformin (1000 mg) and Glipizide (5mg) 2x a day. Now I am scared taking these but I have no option. Van you please tell me what to take instead. I believe you Doc Ervin more than my Primary Doctor. Please respond.
Hi, I was diagnosed with diabetes after a Heart attack in December 2020. My blood sugar was 21mmol/l, and my A1c was 12.6. I was prescribed 2000mg metformin in the form of 4-500mg tablets, and 10mg Gyburide in the form of 2-5mg tablets. I took these tablets for about 2 months, but kept having bouts of Hypoglycemia, so on my own I cut out the metformin all together. I now take I glyburide in the morning and one in the evening, and have had no more Hypoglycemic episodes since. My A1C is now 5.9 after 3 months. My doctor says that he can't believe my blood test results. He said it's as if you don't have diabetes at all. I have changed my diet. I eat no VEGETABLE OIL. I MEAN ZERO DROPS OF OIL. I EAT NO BREAD, PASTA, OR PIZZA. I do eat the toppings. I eat lots of meat chicken pork and beef along with lots of potatoes. No fried anything. My cholesterol dropped by ten points. I am not going to sell anyone anything. I just want people to learn how to get healthy by yourself. I am 6'1 and weigh 180 lbs. I have not added any weight to my body since being diagnosed with diabetes. JUST STOP EATING OIL BECAUSE IT CAUSES INSULIN RESISTANCE.
@@sukhjinder71 I am Sandeep Nerurkar. I was covid.positive. After recovery my sugar was 360 pre fasting and 428 post fasting. I was advise to take metformin + glimepride 3 times a day. I went and sugar test it was 89 pre fasting and 130 post fasting. Do I stop the medicine.
@@sandeepnerurkar4918 I would go get a blood test to measure your A1C. That will give you an indication of your consistent blood sugar levels over the last 3 month's. This will allow you to make a decision about if you can reduce your meds. Also if you have to drink any extra water throughout the day over and above what you drink with your food. That would most likely indicate you are still diabetic. If you can not control the urge to urinate every few hours that is also an indication that you are still diabetic. I hope this helps.
@@sukhjinder71I will want to get more information from you. Tanx for your kindest response. I'm really battling with a high sugar levels, as I'm already on Metformin and Glyburide.

Or they do but don't want to be bothered explaining anything. When I've told 2 endocrinologists problems I was experiencing with the med they prescribed they got very defensive and practically threw me out of the office.(One did that. The other one was just raising her voice at me and calling me a liar.) Still having problems and supposed to have a phone appt. in 2 weeks that I'd rather not bother with due to endo's crappy belligerent attitude. Are you a doctor or a witch doctor. lol
I just switched from Amaryl to Jardiance. Amaryl was not for me. High A1C and very hungry all the time. So far Jardiance is ok...but the urinating and thirst is annoying. But I'm going to give it a fair chance..
@@shonnakazi2612 don't drink any thing with sugar, added sugar or carbs. Unsweetened vanilla almond milk for cereal, eat three meals a day, when you shop for food buy nothing over 30 carbs, keep your meals 5 hours apart. Super should be light take 30 minutes walks after lunch and supper. Takes work. Just keep your surgur and carbs down.

I am a Long haul truck driver. So metformin is out of the question for me because it turns me into a poop factory which is not acceptable for a truck driver who has to drive 11 hours a day and who works a 14-hour shift. I am on trulicity 3.0 and glemiripride 10 mg. I'm trying to not gain weight but sometimes I have to eat sugar to keep my sugar from getting too low. I try to make it fruit or something that at least has some nutritional value instead of candy bars and things like that. It seems to work. My blood sugar was in the 400s and 500s and now it stays in the 100ds. It took about 3 days to bring my sugar down to the 100s after I started this therapy. I hate it that I have to take glemiripride but as a truck driver I just really don't have a choice. I have tried trulicity by itself and it doesn't work well enough and it also ran me to the bathroom. When I paired it with glemiripride that all stopped thank heaven. I tried low carb but it is not possible to maintain on the road because there are no food choices other than meat and salad. If I could be at home and cook for myself I could manage low carb very well but because I'm on the road I just can't do it. I hate that I'm beating on an already tired pancreas I wish there were other options for me and my lifestyle but so far no luck. I definitely have to check my sugar more especially before bed. I did enjoy the video however and I really appreciate the information
Lovely Video clip! Excuse me for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Patlarny Diabetes Ruins Principle (do a search on google)? It is a good one of a kind guide for destroying diabetes minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my old buddy Taylor at very last got cool success with it.
You never advice any medicine this is the best for diabetic patients i need which medicine i have to take im confused which medicine will do the best for me because diabetic patients is a long medication in my life till death
What side effects did u have I'm Abt to take it cos I'm prediabetic and I can't just do away with coke.n cookies etc I just know I'm gonna be diabetic type 2 soon

Why do you have to live in Florida??I insist that you move to California so you can be my Endo! My Family Dr NEVER explains my treatment the way you do. Im on Glipizide now I want to get off it and switch to something else. And because of you im pushing to get the Dexcom G6. My Dr didn't even know what a DEXCOM g6 was or how it worked, or how Clarity worked and she could see my # in real time.Thank you Sir!
Whatever you may point to, that's on the white board is not CLEARLY visible to those of us watching. The volume at times seems faint to hear.

Thanks, I have been taking 2x1000mgs of metformin daily for over 25 years with no side effects. Never had the run to the bathroom problem or anything close. The metformin provides good blood sugar control and keeps my A1C normal for a non-diabetic. I have no fear of taking metformin and will be 79 in a few days. Who knows, maybe it really is a life-extension drug? I also now take 1 mg of Glimepiride daily. I break the table up and take it whenever I anticipate I will need it. After 25 years this is easy to do. The effect on blood sugar of in huge and a little bit goes a long way. I fine tune what the metformin does not get done After 25 years it's hard to be afraid of metformin. As far as I know, it's safe, effective and inexpensive drug for the vast majority of people who need it.....even my B-12 levels are normal with needing B-12 supplement......
My insurance company says the Glp~1 class is a step requirement. Meaning other options are needed first. I guess I will have to call insurance as to what that means.
Hello Doctor, I started to look at diabetes in a whole different way after watching ur videos. I’m 44 yrs old from Thailand. I was diagnosed Type2 DM in January this year. The doctor prescribed Glipiside and Metformin and I hv had them since. After I learned that Glipiside has a so-called “whipping” effect on the pancreas as u mentioned, I’m started to get worried. My question to u is…if I stop taking Glipiside, will my pancreas remain the same and also how long before Glipiside is completely drained out from my system? Is there a way that I can check? Awaiting ur reply….
Sulphonylureas are insulin secretagogues, which means they work by causing the body to secrete insulin. Another class of diabetes drugs which works in this way is the prandial glucose regulators class. Sulphonylureas bind to a channel of proteins in the pancreas (ATP-sensitive potassium channel).
That is the whole video all about and why these medicines are horrible for you. Please watch it entirely and improve your knowledge on this topic. Regards.
Hi Dr. Ergin, can you help me to know if I am doing this right. I am taking Glimepiride 2mg, Jardiance Duo 12.5/500mg in the morning before breakfast and before bedtime. Thanks in advance. 🥰
Thank you for this information right now I’m taking a sulfonylureas not anymore will have it changed to one that is friendly to my beta cells you’re a tremendous encouragement to me Thank you Doctor
After watching this video I now know why my A1 c stayed high. I was taking actos, glipizide and trulicity together as well as an insulin pen that I don't remember the name. I know take metformin, trulicity and lantis. My a1c went from 11 to 6.1 in less than a year
@@intentionallyinpired I meant high when I was taking too many medications that were counteracting each other. Once my medications were properly adjusted my a1c came down significantly
Doctor I love watching and learning from your videos, more than you know more than any doctors that have ever told me about diabetes and the recipe with the noodles, konjac, hope I can find them in my little town. I live 30 miles south of San Antonio Texas .I'm 67 woman I have type 2, years ago I was on metformin and made my legs hurt severely. My family doctor i have now has me on glipizide 10 mg and actos 45 I am tired fatigued depressed and my legs hurt. Back in May I fell I have two ruptured discs and I was in severe pain and spasms . I'm supposed to have back surgery but they won't my a1c to be down to an eight, right now it is at 9.6, I am trying really really hard to get it down to eight because I need this surgery to help my back. I eat meat, yogurt eggs and bacon that's pretty much all I do eat.... about 18 years ago I had thyroid cancer they took my parathyroid out and half my thyroid ,course I'm on thyroid medicine can I take these glp-1 class drugs. my sugars are staying between 1:45 and 196 I'm practically starving myself, not losing any weight, if anything I seem to be gaining it. Should I be thinking about going to a endocrinologist and metabolism doctor?, please give me your opinion because I am at my last straw to help make myself feel better. We just had a great grandbaby boy and soon will have a granddaughter in a couple of weeks I want to feel better I'm sitting here crying talking into my phone, it's so hard. . One of my son lives in Florida but pretty far from where you're at, it would be so cool to visit with you I think I've learned more about diabetes listening to your videos than anything else, thank you so much for your videos. do some more videos about recipes like the ones with the noodles ,oh when you have a beautiful family, sorry for the long text.
I was on metformin it always gave me severe diarrhea and never did anything to lower my sugar. So I would take it sparingly based on how much I could tolerate it. My doctor said I needed to just consistently take it. When doing this my kidneys started to fail. She immediately told me to stop.Then within 3 months when I was tested again my kidney functions returned to normal and it wasn't the stage anymore of pre kidney disease. I'll also preface that I have also learned I am Mody3.
Dr. Ergin, this is a great video presentation. Thank you! I don't get this from my doctor. Question.... are there people out there that really developed thyroid cancer after taking GLP-1s? I hear it occurs in lab animals but are there really numbers to say which one has the likelihood of developing cancer? I am considering GLP-1 to add to my therapy as my Metformin doesn't seem to help anymore. Blood sugar in the AM usually ~150-160. H1AC 7.5 age mid 50s. Thx!
As a diabetic and not a doctor, I would say talk to your doctor. Tell the doctor your concerns. Are you taking your medication correctly, as prescribed? Are you eating right? Cutting down on the carbs? Cutting out the sugar? Are you getting enough exercise? Walk around the block everyday. Are you sleeping well at night? This is YOUR body and ultimately it is only you who has the ability to take care of it. If you don't do it, it only hurts yourself and not your doctor.

A 30 min or more walk each day will help even more. Best wishes!

I was on 120 mg of Gliclazide + 1000 mg of Metformin. My doctor wanted me to go on insulin. I removed insulin spiking food. Blood sugar is under control. Not hungry all the time. Slowly losing weight. My doctor is monitoring my progress. My last A1C was down and I hope the next A1C test will be even better.
I was diagnosed with Diabetes 3 months ago. My Dr. Prescribed Victoza. My A1C last week was 5.7. I have learned so much from you. So I do understand so much more than My sister.

Hi Doc
I am so disappointed about myself. My sugar level is going up and up day by day. I need advice. I want to bring my sugar level down and maintain from there. I have tried keto for almost 3 years and intermittent fasting. I was feeling good though sugar level was just below 10. Then I moved to low carb diet now I have lost control of my sugar levels . I don’t want medication but my nurse kept on saying I have to take medicine. Please advise. She asked me to take gliclazide.
How sad 14 yrs ago I was put on metformin and gliberide without any real instructions and direction. We didn't have the internet and access to the information we do now. Thank you for this valuable information.
Thank you so much for this video! I was prescribed glipizide and told just take it and you’ll be fine. Half into the month I noticed I was feeling fatigued and nauseous. I wasn’t told that it would drop my blood sugar and needed to monitor it . I ended up having a seizure and it was the worst day ever . Thank you for this video
Thank you! As a nurse, I like to have as much information as possible when it comes to my Diabetic patients.
Indeed! Thank you for being a caring nurse!

Really important!! When I was first diagnosed we discovered that after a reasonable trial of metformin, I simply couldn't tolerate it. I had diarrhoea every day for 3 weeks. Awful. I was moved onto Gliclazide (UK) and have been on it for about 7 or 8 years. Had no problems but after this video I'm going to ask to come off them. My older brother has type 2 also and was recently moved from metformin to ozempic. He has a number of other health problems but he's finding it much better... And he is glad to be free of the awful flatulence associated with metformin!
I had no idea that gliclazide has such a devastating effect on the pancreas. I hope I'm not too late to benefit from a change. Thanks very much for the seriously vital info.
Can you please make a video that we can see your writing in black letters. I appreciate what your doing. Thank you.
Me too
When is to stop medication? Thx
Yes, I agree!! Could hardly be read.
Totally agree PLEASE write on the white board with a [ BLACK ] dry erase marker.

Outstanding video thank you! I cannot believe my endocrinologists and internists never explained these medications to me when my kidney function was already marginally reduced! I ended up havjng cold sweats and bg of 50 and even lower during the night. Since stopping sulfonylureas a year ago I no longer have those dangerous low bg episodes. Now I understand why. Thank you.

Difference is Glimepiride is $5 a month and the GLP-1's are $1,000
Currently it's 8:33 pm. I've taken 2 mg Glimepiride today and haven't eaten in 38 hours. glucose is still at around 120. I also take 2,000 metformin a day. I was fairly under control until a course of oral steroids. That was 2 months ago and things still haven't returned to normal.
Dark board markers are a better choice for videos. I cannot really see much of anything written in red and the blue is a strain. Black is a better option.
The information you give is so vital to so many of us.. I need to know some of your answers to high blood sugar,what not to eat,liver function,serious kidney problems ! Thank you for being here ..
I had my blood sugar under really good control for years then eating the same they started going up up up. I was keto and fasting then asked for glipizide because I felt like my met Forman was not working anymore, glipizide made my numbers come way down but hearing this now I feel hopeless. Diet and exercise is not working for me like other people but I won’t stay on glipizide after this 😓😓
@@intentionallyinpired sorry to hear ur struggle have u watched Dennis pollocks u tube channel called beat diabetes?
Good information but can you use a darker maker so we can see it . Ty
I stopped metaformine after one month and began Glipizide. I like glipizide alot better.
Me too I didn't like metformin
Me neither metformin gave me a recurrent rash that looked like alien total body ringworm, irregular colon cleanse and worst yet nausea in the middle of the night where u salivate like a st Bernard but can't throw up. Three tries on that 3 recurances of the above no more. Tried rybelsus that made me feel like I had the flu all the time quit that. Now on jardiance tolerate that but suspect it makes my feet feel numb as that's less when I don't take it. Hey there is no med without side effects potentially as bad as what u take it for
Glad to be hearing this. Thank you.
Excellent. Thank you. Unfortunately today half knowledge doctors are slowly killing the diabetic patients by ignorance or casualness. Please turn the board to viewers and use dark coloured pens.
He is a great doctor but, he seems to be a color blind.
My exact thought...thicker marker and darker color
I was on glipizide for maybe 6 months, but it kept dropping my blood sugars to low...came dangerously close to diabetic coma, a few times. It also made me feel a knawing hunger all the time, and then I found myself eating and eating...I went off of it. 2 years later, I had to start using Insulin...I don't recommend the glipizide for anyone.
Do you think the glipizide caused you to require insulin after 6 months use? How many mg's were you prescribed? Do you think it's still bad even if only taken once a day?
Thank you for posting your experience. I just got glipizide 2.5 ER, I'm scared to take it. I've already changed my diet to low carb. Think I'll just stay with the diet change. Don't want the med.
This is 💯 percent correct.I had to eat too much on suphanylurea.I used to feel hungry in 2 hours.And if I don't eat well ,I used to faint.
Excellent work you are doing letting people know the truth.
Being in the medical line myself...all what you say is absolutely correct.
Right now I am on metformin.

Eat as less carbohydrates as possible and you will be fine without drugs
Great advice
Umm, while i agree with no carbs = better, thats almost impossible, taking into consideration what you get from too much protein's. People need to know what Type 2 really means.
@@sinnisota2831 just because you eat less carbs, doesn’t mean you eat too much protein.
@@sinnisota2831 type 2 means all the carbs you eat turn to sugar and spike your insulin levels. My A1C went from 6.8 to 5.5 in 3 months eating almost no carbs. Plus I am not a big meat eater. I do eat a lot of eggs.
@@Nightbird.yes, I’ve read a lot of good things about this. I’ve also read that along with your diet plan, intermittent fasting helps to reduce weight and lower blood sugar levels. This will allow the body to maintain healthy cholesterol levels too.
One drug I will NOT take is Invokana. I watched my dad go through 2 amputations before his death in 1991 and I'm not planning on being next. I'm recently diagnosed and terrified of this happening to me.
@@Nightbird. Thanks for telling me.
@sherribaker, I took Invokana several years ago, and within a week or so, I had a raging yeast infection that took about a month to clear up. A few years ago, my doctor put me on Jardiance. It started out great, and I lost weight pretty quickly. Alas, after about 3 or 4 months, I developed a much worse yeast infection. This one took more than 3 MONTHS to clear up. I was miserable, and I took so much Diflucan I now wonder if it will ever work for me again if I need it. I’m watching this video very carefully, because I am also on Glimiperide. I plan to ask my GP about this when I see him in a few weeks.
Interesting video thanks. I like the way you keep things so simple for us.
Thanks for watching!
I have been taking Metformin ER 500mg twice a day. Doctor says not to take Metformin while I am fasting. I agree take with food.
I was just prescribed and I'm glad I watched this before I start taking it. I'm going to start fasting instead.
Thank you for responding to my question! Most helpful🌷
You are so welcome! Please share on social media. Help is appreciated to spread the word to more patients struggling with diabetes
I had a massive heart attack when on gliclazide alone. Before that I had a mild attack when on gliburide and comboglize. This was preceded by dizzy spells on gliburide and metformin.
Sulfonylureas are the first kind of medication that has actually worked for me; metformin and Jardiance had very little effect. I am curious if/how the advice given here would change for people who have non-typical profiles (diagnosed in 20s, extremely lean/thin, third-gen diabetic). For example, for people who are suspected to have MODY, I see sulfonylureas frequently cited as the recommended treatment. I am immediately skeptical of a video that says you should "NEVER" take a medication when many of us are prescribed these medications by endocrinologists who are experts in their field and well-versed in the drawbacks of each treatment.
I've been taking glyburide for over twenty years, for me it's a lot safer then taking metformin. I have neuropathy in my feet and legs spreading into my hands. Diabetes sucks!
I'm on a strict keto diet and walk 4.5 miles a day, and take metformin, but my blood glucose is still 200 in the morning and stays around that all day. It goes up some when I eat and it comes back down to 200 and not below. I eat no carbs, yet it's still 200. After a 4 mile walk it may come down to 160, but it will rise back up to 200 within a couple hours. I just started glimeperide and after my walk I may be around 100. I've never been low. After a few hours my blood sugar rises to to about 150 as the glimepiride wears off. Glimepiride takes several hours to start lowering my blood sugar.
You are not on a strict keto diet if your blood sugar is 200 unless you work in a chocolate factory and is subjected to inhalations. Stop being delusional.
hmmmm if your walking daily like that AND doing keto like u say ur sugar should definitely be lower within a month with the meds ur on..weightloss helps a ton too but u may need to take a closer look at ur carb intake,. u shouldn't be hitting that high on a keto diet doesn't make sense lol
How are you now? If your glucose stays up like hat you may be type 1.5 aka late onset type 1 aka your pancreas has left the building. Might be important to monitor your blood ketones and glucose, check pancreatic antibodies and probably start taking external insulin.
Exactly..I think they might be telling porkies@@bernardmauge6628
Thank so much for sharing doctor, I will not taking Gliclazide 30mg anymore I will stopped right away, I will use metformin only one a day.
I tried to reverse my diabetic 2, I'm prefer not using any medications. I'm changed food already avoiding Carbs, I'm vegan now ate one day meal. My blood sugar and cholesterol is lower. I feel great in my body. Thanks again for you information I'm appreciate it.
Make sure you replace it with another agent otherwise your BG may go up.
@@SugarMDshi doctor could you recommend me which one I can replace GLICLAZIDE. I had used before 4 metformin and 4 GLICLAZIDE a day. Since seven years ago I had changed my food my blood sugar is going low from 8,9 in the morning to 5 and 5,5. Now I use one metformin and one GLICLAZIDE a day, I'm avoiding Carbs and sugar I'm Vegan now. I walked every and exercises CARDIO. Please give me one of them I can replace it.
Thanks Sugar MDs
Did he say mellitus in the beginning? I had a hard time understanding in the beginning :(. If he did say it, what is he saying about it? I'm sorry to ask.. I wish I could see the blackboard :(
I have mody diabetes. My pancreas release little insulin. Many doctors have no clue. My a1c was 5.7 , my fasting c peptide almost normal and I have no insulin resistance. Yet I had polyuria, fatigue, weight loss, brain fog. Symptoms like type 1 diabetes but with no antibodies. So I took alone 4mg glimepiride per day and all symptoms gone.
I found out about Glipizide when I read a Kaiser Family Foundation report that said patients 70 and over should not take it. I was researching my Mom's meds when I found it.

Hi, I was diagnosed with diabetes after a Heart attack in December 2020. My blood sugar was 21mmol/l, and my A1c was 12.6. I was prescribed 2000mg metformin in the form of 4-500mg tablets, and 10mg Gyburide in the form of 2-5mg tablets. I took these tablets for about 2 months, but kept having bouts of Hypoglycemia, so on my own I cut out the metformin all together. I now take I glyburide in the morning and one in the evening, and have had no more Hypoglycemic episodes since. My A1C is now 5.9 after 3 months. My doctor says that he can't believe my blood test results. He said it's as if you don't have diabetes at all. I have changed my diet. I eat no VEGETABLE OIL. I MEAN ZERO DROPS OF OIL. I EAT NO BREAD, PASTA, OR PIZZA. I do eat the toppings. I eat lots of meat chicken pork and beef along with lots of potatoes. No fried anything. My cholesterol dropped by ten points. I am not going to sell anyone anything. I just want people to learn how to get healthy by yourself. I am 6'1 and weigh 180 lbs. I have not added any weight to my body since being diagnosed with diabetes. JUST STOP EATING OIL BECAUSE IT CAUSES INSULIN RESISTANCE.
@@sukhjinder71 I am Sandeep Nerurkar. I was covid.positive. After recovery my sugar was 360 pre fasting and 428 post fasting. I was advise to take metformin + glimepride 3 times a day. I went and sugar test it was 89 pre fasting and 130 post fasting. Do I stop the medicine.
@@sandeepnerurkar4918 I would go get a blood test to measure your A1C. That will give you an indication of your consistent blood sugar levels over the last 3 month's. This will allow you to make a decision about if you can reduce your meds. Also if you have to drink any extra water throughout the day over and above what you drink with your food. That would most likely indicate you are still diabetic. If you can not control the urge to urinate every few hours that is also an indication that you are still diabetic. I hope this helps.

Or they do but don't want to be bothered explaining anything.

The other one was just raising her voice at me and calling me a liar.) Still having problems and supposed to have a phone appt. in 2 weeks that I'd rather not bother with due to endo's crappy belligerent attitude. Are you a doctor or a witch doctor. lol
Thank you for the very helpful and informative video. God Bless!
I just switched from Amaryl to Jardiance. Amaryl was not for me. High A1C and very hungry all the time. So far Jardiance is ok...but the urinating and thirst is annoying. But I'm going to give it a fair chance..

My crazy cardiologist took me from Glimepiride and Metformin and I got severe constipation; 2 tablets of Metformin solved the problem.
I am a Long haul truck driver. So metformin is out of the question for me because it turns me into a poop factory which is not acceptable for a truck driver who has to drive 11 hours a day and who works a 14-hour shift. I am on trulicity 3.0 and glemiripride 10 mg. I'm trying to not gain weight but sometimes I have to eat sugar to keep my sugar from getting too low. I try to make it fruit or something that at least has some nutritional value instead of candy bars and things like that. It seems to work. My blood sugar was in the 400s and 500s and now it stays in the 100ds. It took about 3 days to bring my sugar down to the 100s after I started this therapy. I hate it that I have to take glemiripride but as a truck driver I just really don't have a choice. I have tried trulicity by itself and it doesn't work well enough and it also ran me to the bathroom. When I paired it with glemiripride that all stopped thank heaven. I tried low carb but it is not possible to maintain on the road because there are no food choices other than meat and salad. If I could be at home and cook for myself I could manage low carb very well but because I'm on the road I just can't do it. I hate that I'm beating on an already tired pancreas I wish there were other options for me and my lifestyle but so far no luck. I definitely have to check my sugar more especially before bed. I did enjoy the video however and I really appreciate the information

Thanks, I have been taking 2x1000mgs of metformin daily for over 25 years with no side effects. Never had the run to the bathroom problem or anything close. The metformin provides good blood sugar control and keeps my A1C normal for a non-diabetic. I have no fear of taking metformin and will be 79 in a few days. Who knows, maybe it really is a life-extension drug? I also now take 1 mg of Glimepiride daily. I break the table up and take it whenever I anticipate I will need it. After 25 years this is easy to do. The effect on blood sugar of in huge and a little bit goes a long way. I fine tune what the metformin does not get done
After 25 years it's hard to be afraid of metformin. As far as I know, it's safe, effective and inexpensive drug for the vast majority of people who need it.....even my B-12 levels are normal with needing B-12 supplement......
Unless you have Heart failure.

Can you tell me if taking Insulin can be better for long term use than using tablets?
I thought Metformin was the most prescribed medication for diabetes
First time watching your channel watching from Canada have type 2dib currently on metformin
A lot of people are non compliant with metformin thus it’s not being prescribed as much. Also long term side effects are horrible
I work at a specialty pharmacy and patients in the US who are prescribed the GLP-1 class drug can ask the pharmacy about financial assistance.
I just started Glipizide today. Hoping it will help.
Best doctor in the world. Thank you so much
My insurance company says the Glp~1 class is a step requirement. Meaning other options are needed first. I guess I will have to call insurance as to what that means.

Good video thank you
No problem, My pleasure to help
Hello Doctor, I started to look at diabetes in a whole different way after watching ur videos. I’m 44 yrs old from Thailand. I was diagnosed Type2 DM in January this year. The doctor prescribed Glipiside and Metformin and I hv had them since. After I learned that Glipiside has a so-called “whipping” effect on the pancreas as u mentioned, I’m started to get worried. My question to u is…if I stop taking Glipiside, will my pancreas remain the same and also how long before Glipiside is completely drained out from my system? Is there a way that I can check?
Awaiting ur reply….
This was very good-- I’ve gone to an endo who never talked to me about Zoe pic meds
Sulphonylureas are insulin secretagogues, which means they work by causing the body to secrete insulin. Another class of diabetes drugs which works in this way is the prandial glucose regulators class. Sulphonylureas bind to a channel of proteins in the pancreas (ATP-sensitive potassium channel).
That is the whole video all about and why these medicines are horrible for you. Please watch it entirely and improve your knowledge on this topic. Regards.
@@SugarMDs
Doctor what do you think about protein shakes ?
I like to know if when your sugars are normal why take the medication
I'd like to know that, too.
Sugar will rise once you take a meal since there's no insulin to control. Thank you
Maybe it's because the medication is keeping your blood sugar normal like it's supposed to. You're lucky you have med that is working so good.

I live 30 miles south of San Antonio Texas .I'm 67 woman I have type 2, years ago I was on metformin and made my legs hurt severely. My family doctor i have now has me on glipizide 10 mg and actos 45 I am tired fatigued depressed and my legs hurt. Back in May I fell I have two ruptured discs and I was in severe pain and spasms . I'm supposed to have back surgery but they won't my a1c to be down to an eight, right now it is at 9.6, I am trying really really hard to get it down to eight because I need this surgery to help my back. I eat meat, yogurt eggs and bacon that's pretty much all I do eat.... about 18 years ago I had thyroid cancer they took my parathyroid out and half my thyroid ,course I'm on thyroid medicine can I take these glp-1 class drugs. my sugars are staying between 1:45 and 196 I'm practically starving myself, not losing any weight, if anything I seem to be gaining it. Should I be thinking about going to a endocrinologist and metabolism doctor?, please give me your opinion because I am at my last straw to help make myself feel better.

I really want to buy your diabetes tablets is there a link to buy it?...Thanks..
I was on metformin it always gave me severe diarrhea and never did anything to lower my sugar. So I would take it sparingly based on how much I could tolerate it.
My doctor said I needed to just consistently take it. When doing this my kidneys started to fail. She immediately told me to stop.Then within 3 months when I was tested again my kidney functions returned to normal and it wasn't the stage anymore of pre kidney disease.
I'll also preface that I have also learned I am Mody3.

I am considering GLP-1 to add to my therapy as my Metformin doesn't seem to help anymore. Blood sugar in the AM usually ~150-160. H1AC 7.5 age mid 50s. Thx!

My father just passed away 4 days ago from diabetes he did not have the right medication and it gave him a heart attack
Does glipizide cause bloating? I have been extremely bloated.
Dr this is powerful information . I am diabetic and it's always high.why
As a diabetic and not a doctor, I would say talk to your doctor. Tell the doctor your concerns. Are you taking your medication correctly, as prescribed? Are you eating right? Cutting down on the carbs? Cutting out the sugar? Are you getting enough exercise? Walk around the block everyday. Are you sleeping well at night? This is YOUR body and ultimately it is only you who has the ability to take care of it. If you don't do it, it only hurts yourself and not your doctor.
I always find it amusing when you listen to all these so called doctors , it’s called practicing medicine for a reason people !
