Sue, I am very careful when I do this, because

combining glucophage and glyburide can cause severe

low blood sugars. There is a medication called

Glucovance, which combines the two. But if mine is

over 200 I add in one quarter of a 2,5 mg tablet

usually with dinner. Do you have a good doc for

diabetes? Also taking glyburide seems to increase

your appetite which is always to be avoided!!! You

should really talk to your doc about it. I find

different doctors have quite different ideas about

these things, but you have to work with what you have

got!!

The other thing that I do is try and exercise more

because again this will dramatically improve your

insulin sensitivity. This will improve your sugars

also. Or more green veg. less pasta/potato/bread.

But only you know what you are doing! A book that

helped me a lot when I was first diagnosed is " Type II

Diabetes and what to do " I feel with diabetes the

more you know the better you are, and knowledge helps

you control things better.

Oh, dear, here I am on my soap box again!! All

opinions are only my own!!! You can only do your

best, feel better love Liz

Hi Liz

I'm taking Glucovance 2.50/500 mg two times a day and I will say it has help a lot to keep my blood sugar down. Heck I'll do anything not to go on shots. I haven't found my appetite going up so I guess I'm luck there. I'm on so many different medication for so many health problems that the number of pills I take is a meal in itself :)
