Is Over Dosage Of Sugar Pills The Cause For Stupor And Light Headedness?
I was originally given the 10 mg dosage. blood sugar was not lowering enough. Was given the 25 mg. in trying to use up the 10 mg tabs I was taking 2 each morning. The other day I felt as though I was in almost a stupor, almost like drinking too much. could it have been that taking two of the 25 mg it dropped my blood sugar so low as to cause this type of effect?

Yes. over dosage of OHA (oral hypoglycemic agents) for Diabetes can cause Hypoglycemia which can explain your symptoms.
Your blood glucose should be maintained within a specific range. For that you are supposed to take adequate amount of food along with adequate amount of drug. You cannot miss a meal or a dose of drug.
Kindly consult your Endocrinologist for futhur follow up.
