Drug Class: What is Glucotrol XL and why is it prescribed?

Glucotrol, Glipizide is an oral antidiabetic medication used to treat type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes. In diabetics either the body does not make enough insulin or the insulin that is produced no longer works properly. There are actually two forms of diabetes: type 1 insulin-dependent and type 2 non-insulin-dependent. Type 1 diabetes usually requires insulin injections for life, while type 2 diabetes can usually be treated by dietary changes and/or oral antidiabetic medications such as Glucotrol.
