Glipizide works by causing the pancreas to release insulin, which helps to lower blood sugar.
Hypoglycemia (blood sugar dropping too low) will occur in some cats on this medication. This is one of the reasons why monitoring is so important. Hypoglycemia is reported to occur in approximately 15% of cats on glipizide. Nausea and appetite loss can occur also. Giving the medication with food is helpful. It is important to realize that appetite loss is a dangerous situation for a diabetic. LET YOUR VETERINARIAN KNOW AT ONCE IF YOUR DIABETIC CAT BECOMES UNINTERESTED IN FOOD.
