Troll?

There seems no valid reason not to post a link to published research.

What did your leaflet of information say supplied with your drugs? Reread them again for clarification hun.
This old thread's participants seemed to think it was a troll.
Can you google this yourself and stick to trusted websites?

Mayo clinic says
"Glyburide and metformin combination is used to treat high blood sugar levelscaused by a type of diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes) called type 2 diabetes. Normally, after you eat, your pancreas releases insulin to help your body store excess sugar for later use. This process occurs during normal digestion of food."
