Was just prescribed this yesterday. Anyone have any experience with it? My morning blood sugar has been running at 100-115 over the last month havnt failed the 1 hour test though.

I take this twice a day.  Once at night before bed for my overnight #'s and once during the day when I have a carb/sugar heavy meal.  It works great.  Good luck!

I used it and had a bad reaction to it and was put on insulin instead. It dropped my blood sugar to 54 in the middle if the night, super scary.

So far it has done nothing for my fasting numbers

I was prescribed glyburide 2x a day and while it did help bring my after meals numbers some, it dropped my fasting numbers way too low. My nutritionist advised me to stop taking it until I spoke to my doctor again... she explained that it is a constant release of insulin in your system, so instead of a reaction to food it just keeps working. So you have to be very diligent about not skipping meals or snacks.  I go back to the MFM tomorrow to see if they change my meds/dose.

GL!

I was put on this about 2 weeks ago.  I take it at night to help with my fasting numbers that were around 105 on average.  It took me a few days to get used to it.  It made me very hungry in the beginning but I am now getting used to it.  It didn't do anything to my fasting numbers until day 3-4.  Make sure you eat your snack at night or you will drop too low and feel like crap.  I average about 15g of carb snack around 9pm and my fastings have been much lower around 80's. Good luck!!

I am finding that if I don't eat a late night snack my numbers are reasonable in the morning but if I do they suck so much for a cookie before bed!
