Should I Talk To My Doctor About Increased Blood Glucose Levels Despite Taking Glipizide?
Brief Answer:
About your concern...
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
The glucose levels you reported are high and you should see a physician to adjust the treatment (to increase the dose of glipizide if you are not overweight or to add other tablets if you are overweight).
There are so many alternatives of treatments in our days but there are some pieces of information (the Hba1c, the BMI, renal and liver function etc) needed before deciding about it.
You should see a physician to modify the treatment and not stay too long with blood glucose over 200 mg/ dl.
Hope the information will help.
Kind regards,
Dr. Mirjeta Guni, Endocrinologist
