Sulfonylureas/Glipizide

[Maelstrom]

Has here anyone ever used Glipizide or another type of Sulfonylureas? If so, what did you think of it?

I thinking of using adding a low dose of Glipizide and Metformin to my next cycle.

I never tried either one myself. I hear good things about Avandia as well. I see the glipizide carried for cheap at the below places. I think sbc has the metformin. I couldn't tell you how and when and what doses to use though. I think BigA had an article that talked a bit about metformin use. (I think)

Glucotrol 5mg (140 pills) $42.00 $0.30/pill Add to Cart

5mg Tabs 100 (10 x 10) $28.00

I don't know what these things you mention are for. Here's Big A's info on Metformin http://www.professionalmuscle.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1193

I might have to be a bit of a guinea pig then.

Some info on Sulfonylureas/Glipizide:

"Glipizide increases insulin secretion from the pancreas. This organ produces insulin. Glipizide makes tissues more sensitive to insulin. This means better blood sugar control."

"Until 1994, sulfonylureas were the only oral medications for diabetes available in the US. These medications act to force your pancreas to make more insulin, which then lowers your blood sugar.
For this medication to work, your pancreas has to make some insulin. If your pancreas makes no insulin at all, you aren't a good candidate for this class of drugs. Also, if you have an allergy to sulfa drugs you should probably avoid sulfonylureas."

I've used Maninil-5 (Glibenclamide) at the end of my cycle. Be careful these drugs can cause very strong hypo at very small doses unlike insulin. They increase number of insulin receptors and insulin sensitivity. After sulfonylureas I need to decrease usual insulin doses.
Finally, never combine Glipizide (or another sulfonylureas drugs) with insulin or metformin! It's very dangerously.

Thanks Joe.
