Glyburide stinks

So I went and seen my specialist Wed. She had me switch from my metformin to glyburide.  She told me to start on 10 mg a day 5 with breakfast, and 5 at bedtime. Well the first day I was so sick and my sugar's were dropping low. Then last night I woke up at about 1am trembling and shaking in a cold sweat and could barely form a sentence.  I tested my sugar and it was 34!!!  So Alan ran and grabbed me some peanut butter and crackers and Orange juice, and I started chugging it and eating the crackers. My sugar was hardly even raising at all. So I called the On Call  Dr at my OB and he was very concerned. Apparently just a few points lower and I would have been in the Coma Zone. He said f it got that low again call 911, and he wanted me to set my alarm to check it every 30 minutes-1 hr. Well we didn't really sleep for a while then started dozing a bit and waking up checking it. After drinking over 1/2 gallon of oj and eating 15..15! peanut butter crackers it was barley peaking 100. NOT NORMAL! Typically this would sent me in the upper 100's if not 200's!  I woke up this morning and my fasting BS was 85. So The Dr told me to try taking just 2.5 MG of the meds. So I took half one ate my breakfast and within an hour was feeling shakes, checked my sugar and it was 44. So called the Dr again and they said to track my sugars all day and call back in this afternoon.

          After tracking all day my sugar never went over 100....I even test my body and ate a whopper jr, fries and a chocolate fudge pop things I could not have eaten in the past without shooting my sugar up. Nothing. Called the Dr back and they said don't take anything tonight and then I'm to call the On Call Dr in the morning with the fasting numbers and she will decided if I need to take it then. They are thinking the original dose was just to high and when I took the 5 then the 2.5 this morning it was all in my system at the same time.

          Needless to day it's been a stressful two days. I'm just praying they decided to let me stay on the metformin. I may just put my foot down and say I'm not taking the glyburide period. I don't like feeling like this all the time and I know it can't be healthy for the baby.
