Glycizide

I probably didn't spell that right, but I hope you all know what I mean. The other day the doctor said if my blood sugar goes below 5 (90) I can reduce my glicizide. I made a phone call to her to clarify how. I take it in the morning when my sugars are normal. The only time they're that low or lower is after exercise or when I don't eat enough.
So, my question is, how do you take yours? I'm going to ask this of the Doctor, but I thought I would get your views as well. Maybe I should start taking it in the evening before supper, then reduce from there?

Well, the diabetic nurse just called. She explained everything about reducing,y Glycizide, eating meals and no skipping any, and when my sugars going low after exercise? I feel so much better now.

I took 4mg. morning & night. It's a 24 hour pill but it has hills & valleys.
It was a set it & wait to see how it affects my sugar.
That was the first pill I was able to wean off of thru diet.

Ken, that's what the nurse has explained to me. MIne is an all day acting pill. Right now I take 120mg in the morning. SHe said to start reducing by 1/2 pill per day and see how it effects my sugars. And NOT to skip meals. That's the trick for me.
