Do you have a BG test meter?
those sound like low BG symptoms, Glipzide  is a drug that forces your pancreas to make insulin weather you need it or not and can therefore cause a hypoglycemic reaction.  Hypos can be very dangerous even fatal. if your taking Glipzide you need to test your BG especially when you feel "wrong"
and you should always carry some carbs with you to treat a hypo.

You have to be very careful with what you have on.  I agree with Nana about everyone being different.  But I really would call your doctor and report the symptoms and see what they have to say.

I recommend the excellent film "Fat Head" to every diabetic, or anyone with blood sugar issues. Available on Hulu for free, or Netflix instant streaming. It's changing my life, helping me to control blood sugars. Also, see the books by scientific investigator Gary Taubes, and his blog.

.  Sorry you are having a hard time.  Everyone is different so what works for me may not for you.  I take glyburide,januvia and two insulins.  My sugar is in much better control now and symptons(sweating,shakes tired)occure much lesss often.  You may want to ask your ddr about insulin
