[QUOTE="DCB 2, post: 2306010, member: 471568"] In my case between diet , exercise, and losing over 50 lbs the meds, Glipizide, was causing me to go hypo. I explained it to my doctor that there was not any way I could take the medicine. We agreed that it would be worth a try, This just a suggestion, but providing him/her with a chart showing your daily readings might help. If your numbers are on the lowish side it might help convince your doctor. Getting off the meds is always great, but it is also a learning process. You are flying solo, you do not have any meds controlling things, so you need to be careful with your diet and learn how your body reacts to food without them. The first time I went off the meds I was not careful and it was a mess of my own choosing Best of Luck! Dave [/QUOTE]
