I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Glipizide and metformin combination can cause low blood sugar. However, it also can occur if you delay or miss a meal or snack, drink alcohol, exercise more than usual, cannot eat because of nausea or vomiting, take certain medicines, or take glipizide and metformin with another type of diabetes medicine. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
