How long before you were put on Glyburide?

I've been testing for a few days and no matter what I do my fasting number is not below 95.  The highest it's been is 108, the lowest is 100.

I have a doctor's appt on Friday so I will have been testing for a week by then.  My after meal numbers have been fine - with slight elevations of no more than 122 - should be under 120. 

How long did you have higher fasting numbers before you were put on medication?

a week.  they wanted to get those fasting numbers under control sooner rather than later!

Thanks.  I'm glad to know that because if I can't get them down on my own I definitely want something to help!

A week before they offered it. My fasting number was always b/t 113-120. They weren't messing around!

Was your fasting number the only number that was elevated?  How many times a day do you use insulin?

Yea, my fasting # is/was the only problem. And 2 times a day, night & morning.

I'm starting to see a little increase in my breakfast #s but they haven't said anything to me about it yet, so I'm not sure if something will change soon!

About 2 weeks after diagnosis I was started on oral medication (Glucophage/Metformin) twice daily.  My fasting numbers were still over 100 about 2 weeks after that, so we added Lantus insulin at night.  The insulin is what finally brought my fasting numbers below 90.
