The glyburide was working well&#8230; too well at times as I was experiencing frequent lows.  But all in all I was pleased with my results and I had even got my fasting numbers down to reasonable levels (below 126).  My diabetic nurse decided she didn&#8217;t like my frequent lows and decided I needed to change to gliclazide in the form of diamicron MR &#8212; 30 mg first thing in the morning.<br \/>\nNow I find my fasting numbers very high ( between 126 and 180), every day, even if I don&#8217;t have anything to eat past supper time the night before.<br \/>\nAnd also if I eat anything which I consider bad such as a higher carb food or meal my numbers go way high and can take a long time to come back down.  With the glyburide I didn&#8217;t have this problem&#8230; if my numbers were high they quickly came down.<br \/>\nMy diabetic nurse is from the school of anything up to 180 is good so I can&#8217;t turn to her for advice because she would consider my numbers reasonable.<\/p>\n<p>My question is does it take awhile to adjust to this drug and will I likely find my numbers come back down again to better levels in time?  Is there something I can do now in regards to improving my morning numbers?  I have tried eating different kinds of snacks before bed, not eating any snack and the results don&#8217;t seem to vary at all.  What could explain these higher numbers in the morning.  I don&#8217;t think I am having lows in the night causing glucose dumps.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for any and all advice!!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a type 2 who was being treated with metformin and glyburide.
