diabetes, type 2
"I was on Metformin when I was first diagnosed with type 2.  It had no effect on my A1C or my daily levels.  I tried it for 2 years.  I ended up with diarrhea all the time.  They tried switching me to metformin ER(SR) and that didn't help either.  I then was switched glyburide 5mg 2 times a day.  The first dose dropped my blood sugar into the 50's.  I called the Dr she switched it to 2.5mg twice a day.  my A1C is down to 5.6 my daily levels are back to normal.  Just because a drug is effective for one person it may not be for another.  Don't be afraid to ask questions."
