I would monitor my blood glucose and start eating @ one hour after the dose was given. eat bread, eat a potato. Have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, if not allergic to peanuts. There is more than one way to skin a cat. |

There is more than one way to skin a cat. Not good advice to stave a potential hypo. I believe you wi Ltd want to immediately injest hi glycemic carbs or sugar tablets with NO FAT intake. Potatoes and bread are low glycemic carbs. Peanut butter is a protein high in good fat that will delay the effect of the carb entering the blood stream. Hard candy is good. Chocolate has too much fat to use as a correction. Take a bg reading every fifteen minutes until insulin has peaked. much better to overcorrect on carbs in the short term. reading to cover the overdose of insulin. Keep checking until the short acting insulin peaks. Better to overdose on |

Yes, celebrate! You now have the perfect excuse to drink non-diet soda and eat candy in bulk  Sadly you seldom take enough in error to have a really good binge, you are lucky if it covers a can of regular soda or a whole packet of Skittles  |

I say go BIG or don't go at all That's when you muddle the Humalog and Lantus pens and give yourself the basal shot using Humalog. Never done that personally but I know people who have. You get to eat 400g of carbs over a couple of hours (yay!) |

I was on glipizide for a short period of time, so I never really knew how much extra insulin I had produced, but it would put me in the 40's almost every day. Yuk |

I was on glipizide for a short period of time, so I never really knew how much extra insulin I had produced, but it would put me in the 40's almost every day. Yuk CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Mechanism of Action The primary mode of action of GLUCOTROL in experimental animals appears to be the stimulation of insulin secretion from the beta cells of pancreatic islet tissue and is thus dependent on functioning beta cells in the pancreatic islets. In humans GLUCOTROL appears to lower the blood glucose acutely by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas, an effect dependent upon functioning beta cells in the pancreatic islets. The mechanism by which GLUCOTROL lowers blood glucose during long-term administration has not been clearly established. In man, stimulation of insulin secretion by GLUCOTROL in response to a meal is undoubtedly of major importance. Fasting insulin levels are not elevated even on long-term GLUCOTROL administration, but the postprandial insulin response continues to be enhanced after at least 6 months of treatment. The insulinotropic response to a meal occurs within 30 minutes after an oral dose of GLUCOTROL in diabetic patients, but elevated insulin levels do not persist beyond the time of the meal challenge. Extrapancreatic effects may play a part in the mechanism of action of oral sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs.
Animal studies and no clue how it works. alrighty then, www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2008/017783s019lbl.pdf |

How did it ever get approved by the FDA, and more importantly, how does someone justify prescribing it for T2D? It does nothing for the underlying disease process—only insulin can address that. |

Yuk I don't like glipizide because it's very much a blunt instrument and can have exactly the effect you describe. Your insulin output is variable so sometimes if you are almost making enough glipizide will wring out more insulin than you need and you go low. Other times you will not put out much and glipizide will squeeze out enough extra to get you to a good place. Type 1s hit this as well when their honeymoon period is coming to an end and their pancreas is spluttering - some days your pancreas wakes up and you can spend a whole day fighting off lows from an over-enthusiastic pancreas. |

Autoimmune thyroiditis has same sort of issue. Lots of fun. I think it is about the closest a man can come to experiencing menopause... mood swings, hot flashes and sweating in the middle of winter, etc. as your hormones swing back and forth from hyperthyroidism to hypothyroidism. Then your immune system manages to beat your thyroid into submission and you stabilize with steadily progressing hypothyroidism. |
