Research Notes on Glyburide
Glyburide (Micronase, Diabeta, Glynase) is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. Glyburide lowers the sugar level by stimulating insulin secretion in the pancreas. Treatment with glyburide may increase the risk of death from cardiovascular disease compared to treatment of diabetes with diet alone or diet plus insulin. Glyburide can increase the sensitivity of your skin to the sun, so always wear sunscreen and protective clothing.
Fast Facts:
- In a class of diabetes medicines called sulfonylureas
- Approximately 90% of patients with diabetes have type 2 or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
- Studies have shown that strict sugar control in diabetics decreases the risks of eye, kidney, and nerve damage.
