Glyburide... help please

I've been taking this for 3 days now. Its supposed to lower my blood sugar whixhbit does great on. My doctor didn't trust me to do it on my own through diet and exercise so that's why I have it. Well this stuff lowers my sugar toooooo low.. like around the 60s. It leaves me light headed trembling and hungry... idk if I should go to the ER or just wait. My  doctor told me that if my blood sugar is consistently under 60 then I should call her. Well I've only gone under twice but I start getting shaking hands at around 70. What do I do?? Can this low blood sugar levels hurt my baby??

Definetly report these symptoms to your doctor immediately!! You may need less of the med then your currently taking. I know it's very similar to Metformin and that stuff is hard to tolerate. Don't be afraid to phone your doctors office and report this first thing. Better to be safe then sorry.

I would tell her as soon as possible and see what you can do to prevent it, or if there is another med that is out there that wont cause that. I don't know if its harmful to baby, but it doesn't sound good for either of you!! Twice would be enough for me to consider consistent.
