Yes i just started glyburide due to gestational diabetes because the metformin was not bringing down my fast numbers as they are the ones that I m struggling with. Also metformin gave me stomach problems. I just want to know how fast does glyburide take effect and how long does it last ? My Dr has me taking 1.5 in the morning with breakfast and 2 5 with dinner. It s been a week now and I ve only seen one normal fast. I think im taking the pill too early at night and maybe it wears off before I wake. Im thinking to take anotger 1.5mg at 4am since i wake at 7am and take my blood sugar. What do you think?
Hi, Sorry to know that your sugar levels are not coming down around normal levels despite taking glyceride. In my opinion, the dose of glyceride should have been increased especially as you've not been on any other oral hypoglycemic or an insulin. It is important to bring your sugar level to around normal levels as being pregnant you are a high risk case. One week time is sufficient to bring down your sugar to around normal levels. Please do not change the medicine timings on your own. Talk to your doctor for a review. I hope my answer helps. Please feel free to ask a follow-up question if there is any confusion. Thanks, Chat Doctor.
