So, you are saying it is more than likely the glipizide? Thanks!

I have been eating healthier (though there is still some room for improvement) and taking my medications exactly as the doctor wants me to. So I am hoping that it can all work itself out! I know this is still the beginning so things may need to be tweaked a little here and there. I just want to...

I was at 33 after the fall. Which is the lowest I have ever been to my knowledge. My first thought was that it had to be an interaction between some of my medications. Especially since this happened 2 days after increasing one medication, and starting several new ones. I am still waiting to hear...

I'll keep you updated! Thank you so much! Hope you have wonderful day!

Wow! So glad that you are ok! Thank you for these kind words! It is such a scary feeling to not feel in control of your own body. And I just want to make sure that I don't hurt anyone else, or myself by driving while I'm low. This has been such a crazy experience! Its so good to know there are...

Thank you for the link! I have checked with an attorney in my state (Illinois, United States) and many of the laws are the same here. I want to make sure that I am not putting anyone else or myself in danger while I am driving. It is a scary thought! So I appreciate the insight!

I am honestly not very familiar with the symptoms of a hypo. I had not really had a problem with that before.. always the opposite. My doctor did recently prescribe a different dose of metformin. I started off only taking 2 a day, and she increased it to 4 a day. I started two other medications...

I am currently on metformin and glipizide, as well as a thyroid medication and Lipitor for cholesterol. I have been keeping little snacks with me, is that what you mean? I'm sorry. I am still so new to this. How long should I wait to drive after a hypo?

Ok, so I am not usually the person who posts on these sorts of things. However I don't have anyone in my life who has any knowledge of or experience with diabetes so I figured this would be a great place to get tips, information, and hopefully find other people who can relate to this disease and...
