What is Glucotrol XL Used For 

Glucotrol XL (glipizide extended-release) regulates high blood sugar in type 2 diabetes adjunct with proper diet and exercise. Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the pancreas can still produce insulin, but the body does not use it the way it should be, leading to high levels of sugar in the blood; if this condition progresses, the pancreas may completely stop producing insulin.  

This anti-diabetes drug belongs to the class of sulfonylureas, which improves glycemic control by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas; insulin signals the body to move the sugars in the blood and cells out of the bloodstream. Regulating glycemic levels can reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks; it can also help prevent losing limbs, nerve damage, blindness, sexual function problems, and kidney damage. However, this medicine is not intended for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
