Prandin is often prescribed to lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It works by helping the pancreas produce more insulin. The drug comes in tablet form and is taken by mouth before each meal.
If you skip a meal, you should also skip your dose of this medication.
Glyburide is often used to lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It works by helping the pancreas make more insulin. The medication comes in tablet form, and is typically taken once or twice a day. A micronized glyburide is also available, with small particles that are better absorbed into the body.
There is a slight difference in both meds, a doc would be able to prescribe what is best suited to your system.
Please take care, be well!
