I was diagnosed with T2 at the end of April 2014. The doctor put me on 500mg of metformin two times a day and 10mg of glipizide once a day. Also for high blood pressure I take lisinopril and metoprolol. They seemed like they were working and my blood sugar and blood pressure have been lowering. For the 2 weeks prior to my doctor appointment last week. I was in the 80's/90's before eating and no higher than 140 two hours after I ate. I had a couple of 60's. Last week I went to the doctor and she changed my medication to 5mg of glipize once a day and 500mg of metformin three times a day. She up'ed my metformin because she said she wants to get my A1C down. It was 8.9, a few weeks prior when I was diagnosed it was 11.4.

I've been trying to eat a little better but I also have been staying around the 1780 calories MFP set for me. I exercise a couple times a week. Well now it's been a week since I've seen the doctor and she changed my meds and I've had a low of 62 or so every day, usually in the morning two hours after breakfast. I take the glipizide in the morning and the metformin with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Even after I ate over 70 carbs for breakfast yesterday (It was a test) and my blood sugar only got to 88 two hours after. I start to get panicky when I get in the 60's. Maybe that's just me.

Should I talk to my doctor about this? I tried to tell her things were going well at my last visit but she still wanted to add the extra metformin. The only thing I did get her to do was drop the glipizide from 10mg to 5mg. My mom, who has had T2 diabetes 15 years and is on insulin, said I should stop taking the glipizde. I don't think I should just stop taking it. The doctor should know best, right? Maybe I'm just worrying too much?

Sorry if it's long and confusing.
