I was taking metformin 500mg twice a day and glyburide 5mg twice a day when I was first diagnosed with type 2 about 5 weeks ago. I dropped the glyburide to once a day when I dropped below 8.3 (after about a week).
after a bout 2 weeks my BS dropped from 11.1 to under 5.5 regularly and often under 3.8. My doctor dropped me down to 500mg once a day and completely off of the glyburide.
since I dropped down my dosage my BS has been increasing to now I am back up to 7.7 to 8.3 now. A couple days ago I increased my metformin to 1000mg twice a day and I am not noticing any different in my BS.
How long does it take for metformin to kick in? I have doubled my dosage to 1000mg twice a day and there is no difference in my BS. I am wondering if the metformin/glyburide combination made that much difference? should I get back on glyburide? or does it take time for the metformin to take it's full effect.
Can I get your input on this please.
