Glyburide Symptoms
I am a new Glyburide user. Took my first 5mg pill 7 hours ago. Woke up this morning with chest pain, especially with deep breathing. Is this a common symptom for a new user. Blood sugar is 101.

weight gain with Glyburide
I am unhappy with the weight gain since starting Glyburide approx. 5 years ago. Recently my doctor recommended that I try going without G. for a while and see what happens. After only 2.5 weeks and no other changes in diet or exercise I have lost 4 lbs. That makes me happy BUT the other side of the story is that my blood sugers are much higher which is NOT good. Has anyone tried something else that works like G. but without the weight problem?

Always leave a place a little better than you found it.

weight gain with Glyburide
I have not started taking Glyburide yet. The doctors have changed my medications so much it is hard to remember what I have taken. I don't know anything about glyburide and was hoping to find more info here. I am worried about the weight gain because I have gained a total of 63 pounds with the different medications they have put me on. Not on a specific diet because I can't keep anything down thanks to the glucophage I was taking. If you know of any other meds better than this one that do not cause weight gain please let me know.

Glyburide not lowering blood sugar
Blyburide has controlled my blood sugar for several years now. I recently had to increase my dosage to 2.5 MG prior to each meal (three times daily) and it doesn't lower my blood sugar. Could I have developed a tolerance for Glyburide to the point that it doesn't affect my blood sugar? I recently had stones removed from my prostate and changed blood pressure medication.

How effective has Glipizide Been For You
I've been Type 2 for about a year. The doc and I have been switching medication for the past 6 months and I have only been on Glipizide for about 2-3 months (replaced Glyburide). 5mg twice a day and Actos once a day.

Personally I don't think either Glipizide or Glyburide is extremely effective for me. My peaks are lower, but that could be just from better eating.

Actos takes several week to several months to become affective and I believe it is the reason for my recent lower numbers during the day.

Neither drug is lowering my morning readings which typically ranges from 120-140.

Buy the book "The Diabetic Bible". The chapter on drugs is worth the price alone.
