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!
