Please if any one can help with this it would be appreciated Thanks.Also I take 1- Glipizide ER 5mg. first thing in the morning.

You may ask your Doctor to reduce glyburid, to 1-or-2 mg it causes bs to drop real fast if you dont eat.
I am diabetic too, on the same meds.

Eat you breakfast or dont take the meds till u do.
