How Can Fluctuating Blood Sugar Levels While On Metformin And Glypizide Be Treated?
My blood sugar is all over the charts, its not steady. One time it will be 135 then 200 then 260. I take metphormine 2,000 daily and glypicide 8mg daily. When I was first diagnosed 10 years ago it was easily controlled with these meds. I am concerned that this high blood sugar level is destroying my organs like it did to my older brother. My dr does not seem to think I need insulin and says that it is ok. My A1c is 6.9. What is your advice?

Hello,
The blood sugar level and A1C are slightly elevated.
This indicates that the medication are not very effective.
In my opinion you should consider consulting another doctor about insulin treatment.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
