What is Micronase

Glyburide

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Glyburide is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is usually given to patients who cannot control their diabetes with metformin, the standard first-line therapy. Glyburide works by stimulating insulin production by closing off potassium channels on the beta cells, which increases the amount of potassium and calcium in the cells. Glyburide was approved by the FDA in 1984 and a combination formulation with metformin was approved in 2000.

Effectiveness

How Micronase Affects Patients

Glyburide is a medication that helps the body produce more insulin. It usually needs to be taken just once per day and is usually started at a low dose (0.75mg) but can be increased to 10mg or more. However, taking glyburide may increase the risk of cardiovascular death, just like with another type of medicine called tolbutamide.

How Micronase works in the body

Glyburide is a medication used to help with diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called sulfonylureas. These drugs work by blocking a special kind of potassium channel that is found in the pancreas. Normally, these channels open and close in response to glucose levels in the body, which helps to regulate insulin production. Glyburide forces these channels to stay closed, which increases the amount of insulin produced.

Micronase for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

I've only been using this medication for three weeks, but the results were immediate and great! The only downside is that I have to eat a mid-morning snack to prevent low blood sugar, but that's not really a big deal.

I've been taking Metformin with Glyburid for a few years now, and it hasn't done much to lower my blood sugar. Recently, my doctor discovered that I have a liver problem. This is concerning because last year my liver was healthy.

"You may experience low blood sugar, nausea, heartburn, feeling full, muscle or joint pain, blurred vision, or a mild rash or skin redness."

Answered by AI

What is Micronase used for?

"Glyburide is a medication used to control high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. It is typically used in conjunction with a proper diet and exercise program. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent a variety of issues including kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems."

Is Micronase the same as glyburide?

"The drug Micronase, which is used to lower blood sugar, contains the compound glyburide. Glyburide is a white, crystalline substance that is available in tablets of 1.25, 2.5, and 5 mg strengths."

Saskatoon Berries for Type 2 Diabetes

18 - 74
All Sexes
Winnipeg, Canada

Diabetes becomes epidemic in worldwide countries. Diabetes Canada indicated that 30% of adults in Manitoba are diabetes or prediabetes. Nine out of ten diabetic patients are type 2 diabetes (T2D). T2D is characterized by insulin resistance and obesity. Uncontrolled diabetes leads to serious consequences including heart attack, stroke, chronic renal failure, liver failure, blindness and low limb amputation. Most of hypoglycemic medications have certain side effects. Natural foods or nutraceuticals with hypoglycemic potential are expected to provide a safer management for diabetic patients. Saskatoon berry is a popular fruit in Canadian Prairie and Northern states in USA. Our previous studies demonstrated Saskatoon berry (SB) powder attenuated hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, inflammation, liver steatosis and gut dysbiosis in diet-induced insulin resistant mice, a model for T2D. The findings of the glucose and lipid lowering or liver protective effects of SB powder have been supported by another group in Australia in high fat fed rats. Our preliminary studies in 20 healthy subjects demonstrated that dried whole SB (40 g/day for 10 weeks) significantly reduced fasting plasma glucose, total and LDL-cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, and increased plasma glucagon-like peptide compared to baseline, which was associated with increased intake of total fiber and decreased intake of saturated fat. The changes in metabolic and vascular variables significantly correlated with the alterations in gut microbiota The combination of findings suggest that SB is good candidate of prebiotic functional food as a supplemental remedy for reducing the risk for metabolic syndrome and preventing or managing T2D. The effect of Saskatoon berry and its products on metabolic disorders have not been studied in diabetic subjects. We propose to examine the effects of oral administration of freeze-dried whole SB on glucose metabolism, insulin resistance and gut microbiota in untreated prediabetes and new type 2 diabetic patients compared to a control dried fruit in a randomized controlled trial.

CX11 for Type 2 Diabetes

18 - 75
All Sexes
Birmingham, AL

This study is testing whether a new medication called CX11 works and is safe for participants with type 2 diabetes who have not reached good blood sugar control while taking a steady dose of metformin, with or without a steady dose of an SGLT2 inhibitor, for at least 90 days. The study is being done at multiple medical centers. Participants are assigned by chance (randomized) to different groups, and neither the participants nor the study staff know which group they're in (double-blind). The groups are compared side by side (parallel), and some participants will receive inactive pills (placebo) to help measure the true effect of the study drug. After screening, participants will be randomly placed into one of six groups, with equal chances of being in any group. Each group will receive a different dose of CX11 or a placebo. Treatment will last 24 weeks. After that, all participants will have a 2-week follow-up period to check on safety.

Adaptive Dietary Intervention for Type 2 Diabetes

18+
All Sexes
New York, NY

The investigators will examine the feasibility, acceptability, and effect of an adaptive dietary intervention over 24 weeks (12-week intervention, 12-week follow-up) among Asian Americans with Type 2 diabetes. Participants (N=120; 60 Chinese Americans and 60 Vietnamese Americans) will be 2:1 randomized to one of two arms: adaptive dietary intervention or standard of care (SC). The intervention will begin with continued glucose monitoring (CGM) use only during weeks 0-4. At week 4, participants who achieve the glycemic control goal (at least an 8% increase in time in range \[TIR\] from baseline) will continue with the CGM alone during weeks 4-12 ("CGM Alone"); otherwise, culturally and linguistically adapted glucose excursion minimization (GEM) will be augmented with CGM ("CGM-GEM").

MetSense Risk Flag for Type 2 Diabetes

18+
All Sexes
Pleasanton, CA

People with serious mental illness have high risk for type 2 diabetes due to multiple risk factors, including the metabolic side effects of psychotropic medications that are used to treat these conditions. Type 2 diabetes is preventable through lifestyle and pharmacological interventions, but many people with serious mental illness do not receive regular screening for type 2 diabetes risk. In many health care settings, clinical pharmacists are increasingly managing patients with serious mental illness and have expertise in monitoring the metabolic side effects of psychotropic medications. This study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of using a diabetes prediction model that is based on electronic health record data (the MetSense risk flag) to alert clinical pharmacists about patients who are at high diabetes risk, prompting these clinicians to prioritize diabetes risk management services.
