Hello, Before commenting much on your case history, I would like to get a few more information from you which consist of what's your current sugar level and moreover are you trying to deliberately lose weight or not. Just with this history background if I had been your treating physician, then after getting your sugar done I would have suggested you that you need to modify your dose of metformin and glipizide and along with that I would have also suggested you to stop doing any exercise and Chat Doctor.
