Common Questions and Answers about Metformin with glyburide

glucophage

Avatar m tn Has anyone else done this? After 5 days with increasing dosage of lantus I can't get a number under 200. A couple of days ago I started using metformin as well and still no response. I am now up to 25 units of lantus and 1000 in the AM and 500 in the PM of metformin. I have liver issues and maybe the IR is playing into this. Anyone have any insight into this?
Avatar n tn And sometimes it has to do with insurance reimbursement. Metformin and glyburide are both relatively safe drugs with good historys used in moderation in with your physician's instructions, but each acts in a different way. Some physicians administer both at the same time. Another school of thought is to use one for a while, and then switch. I would ask him, but the change does not necessarily mean something bad has happened. You can look up the drugs.
604185 tn?1233960857 Well the above statement is not true. Not that your doctor/midwife didn't say this brandy. I believe they did and probably just didnt know. Insulin is the drug of choice if your Diabetes is COMPLETELY out of wack. I have had diabetes with both pregnancies. With my first I took glyburide alone twice a day. With my second, current pregnancy glyburide wasn't cutting it so they added metformin to the mix, same as glucophage, just different name.
Avatar n tn I know several with Hep-c who take Metformin.
Avatar m tn MY A1C was 11.2 in April 2019 by June 2019 it was 9.8. while only taking Glyburide So my doctor added Metformin. Three months later my A1C was 10.6. and two months after that it was 11.5. Stop taking the Metformin and now it's 10.2. this is three months later. I'm trying to figure out why this happen. When I ask my Doctor they are surprised, but had no answer for but want to change my medicine again.

However, the failure rate for glyburide treatment was 20%. with the highest prevalence of large-for-gestational-age infants (22%)" And that oral diabetes meds......"should be seriously considered where diabetes educators are a rare resource, where insulin is expensive or not available, and where low levels of literacy make it difficult to explain the intricacies of using insulin appropriately.
Avatar f tn Definetly report these symptoms to your doctor immediately!! You may need less of the med then your currently taking. I know it's very similar to Metformin and that stuff is hard to tolerate. Don't be afraid to phone your doctors office and report this first thing. Better to be safe then sorry.

Avatar n tn I have had a history of PVCs and AFIB as well as Tachycardia so I am familiar with the symptoms. I am also a Type II Diabetic. I take Metformin 1000 mg twice a day and Glyburide 5 mg in the AM and 2.5 in the PM. Sometimes the Glyburide lowers my blood sugar too much particularly if I don't eat something a few hours after taking my meds. As you mention my blood sugar will only be in the 80-90 range and I start to experience hypoglycemic symptoms.
Avatar f tn The diet for PCOS is a low carb diet - people with PCOS have an insulin problem, which is helped with this diet along with metformin. I would also eliminate gluten along with the low carb diet. If you try the low carb diet, make sure you take the recommended nutrients. They are recommended for a reason. And some people get silly with the diet and don't take in any carbs - DON'T DO THAT! Maybe you can call your doctor to make sure this diet is safe for you.
Avatar m tn let me know if i can help.....I am type II as well, and take metformin and glyburide to control my diabetes......

Avatar n tn Are you on Metformin or Glyburide? If you are not you need to see your doctor Asap and discuss a program to get things in a healthy way. Good luck. Don't be alarmed ...you can get it down with some work hopefully. Go to American Diabetic Association web page, they have great info to help. Accucheck has a good site with a carb counter also. Good luck!
