To answer this question I will pose a couple questions back to you. Did you primary care provider or endocrinologist tell you to take the glucofort? And if not do they know he is taking it? Many supplements can interfere with other medications or cause other issues. Technically he can take his metformin and glipiZide with it and should watch his sugars. If he has high blood pressure as well or takes blood pressure medication then I would advise not taking the glucofort as one of its ingredients can make blood pressure worse and therefore cause issues. I hope this helps.

Glucofort is a "natural supplement " for diabetes but it has several minerals ingredients that could cause interactions with his diabetes medications. I would talk to your primary care Dr and ask if it's safe or If you should just stop it.
