After first .05 mg dose-sugar levels dropped dramatically. Experienced dizziness, shakes. Be careful-monitor your sugar levels. I'm cutting back to 1 pill every 2 days instead of recommended 1 pill 3x day before meals.

I took only one pill as prescribed for the first time. After about 5 hours my sugar level dropped to 44. This pill almost killed me. Fortunately even though I was hit with sudden terrible symptoms (dizziness, impaired vision, shaking, sweating) I was aware enough to take my glucose level and immediately drink orange juice. It took more than 3 hours for my sugar to return to a reasonable level and I was disoriented the following day. BE VERY CAREFUL!

I have used repaglinide for 14 years. It has kept my glucose levels in check all this time. Only recently has my readings gone up slowly. My doctor is deciding maybe to change my medication. It is easy to use and remember to take.
