Have been taking 1.25mg twice a day for the past 2 years. I am not on a strict diet, but my food intake now includes a lot of non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli and dark greens (all types) and nuts & legumes. I also stopped drinking sodas and now drink plenty of water. This combined with an hour of aerobic exercise 4 days per week has decreased body weight by 50 lbs, and lowered my cholest...

have taken it for 2 days now, day 1 dropped my sugar down to 72 felt really shaky, have to drink soda to get it to come up. day 2, dropped blood sugar again to low and feeling shaky. Trying to get it back up. I am not taking it anymore. I am already on 2 metformin (500 mg each) a day. Dr put me on glyburide 2.5mg 1 a day to bring down my A1C from 7.1. I rather walk every day instead of filling shaky and weak after taking this medicine.

I only took this 3 times. I was told different directions by my doctor than I was told from the directions on the rx bottle. The first day I did what I was told for the morning step only. I was told to take it 30 minutes before breakfast. I skipped doing 30 minutes before dinner because I wanted to confirm with my doctor first her instructions. SO I see the nurses at the hospital the next day and ask for them to ask for me. The nurse confirms and says doctor wants you to take twice a day as discussed. So day 2, I took it 30 mins. before breakfast and 30 mins before lunch. I woke up almost at 2am the following morning in a very bad sweat. Thought my water broke. I am 35 weeks pregnant. I got scared and called Labor Read More Read Less

Resulted in weight gain that was difficult to combat. Once off the drug, I lost nearly 20 pounds. Drug was also only effective short term and often resulted in low blood sugar.

I TOOK IT FOR TWO YEARS AND IN JULY 2006 MY AIC WAS 7. IN SEPTEMBER 2006 WHILE PLAYING TENNIS I HAD A PROBLEM. IT WAS FOUND THAT MY LAD ARTERY WAS 99% BLOCKED. MANY MDS WON'T RX IT AND SAY IT DECREASES CIRCULATION IN THE HEART - A POTASSIUM CHANNEL BLOCKER. SOME PUB MED DOG STUDIES SHOW IT DECREASING THE BLOOD FLOW THRU THE LAD ARTERY ABOUT 505! I SHOULD NEVER HAVE TAKEN IT!

Micro albumin in urine went up to 1200+. Is there any connection between this and glyburide? Taking 2.5 mg tablet per day for about 15years. Age 68 now..sugar is usually between 90and 145. Controlled. No hypertension b pressure is between 85/129 to 85/140. Controlled, yet why is microbumin so high.anything to do with this drug?

I have not been able to bring my sugar down using only Metformin ER. My Dr. added Gly-Buride & I saw a huge drop in my sugar within the first 24 hours! That is in combination of the Metformin ER.

I've been on this drug for 2-3 years. Recently, my Drs nurse, who is involved in a diabetes research program, advised me to take it c. 20 minutes BEFORE eating. This allows time for the drug to take effect before the body is bombarded with sugar from the meal. I had been taking it during or after the meal with no apparent result in lowering my blood sugars. Changing the dosage time has been miraculous.. sugars now are in the acceptable range. I test first thing in the morning.
