I take 2 tablets in the morning at breakfast and 2 tablets at dinner time. I was advised recently to test my sugar 2 hours after each meal for beakfast, lunch and dinner. They said it should be under 140. I can not get under 141 after breakfast, it is usually around 220. Two hours after lunch it is usually below 140, even though i do not take any tablets at lunch. I have tried taking the tablets 1 hour before i eat breakfast and the results are closer to 140. The only time i show bad results is at breakfast. Can you explain whe i should take the tablets? Thank you. ## white oval pill with 600 on 1 side and Adams on the other. ## It is rude to hijack someone elses thread, next time please create your own post, in the CORRECT forum for a pill ID.

I have had diabetes type 2 since 1968 off and on till about 10 years ago. I have it regularly now and I am 79yrs old. I am taking Glucovance 500/2.5mg regularly. Please, what is your advice on Glycomet 850? ## Diabetes isn't a disease that you can have off an on, you either have it, or you don't. It may be under better control sometimes, but if you have it, you always have it. As to the medications, which one has your doctor advised you to take? What are your current sugar levels? The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and hypoglycemia.

I have been taking Glucovance 500mg/2.5 mg (Metformin Hydrochloride/Glibenclamide) for my DM for years. Recently, I was prescribed Vamlo 5mg (Amlidopine) for my hypertension. My question is: Can these two medications to be taken together? Upon taking Vamlo 5mg, I experienced Palpations, cough, sleepless and sweating at night. I am yet to see the doctor. Please recommend me an optional medication that pharmacies carry.

After I started taking 1 glucovance 500 mg per day for last 12 months my cholesterol level went from183 to 217 Even though I am watching my diet ## Hello, Mimi! How are you? No, it hasn't been known to cause that. What types of foods do you eat, though? Not everything we think is healthy really is healthy, some may still contain a lot of cholesterol and fat.

recently i went for a urine drug test to be hired for a job, i forgot to tell the drug tester i am diabetic and my medication is glucovance 5/500 i have not recieved word from the job and am growing concerned my medication gave my test bad results. my question is will the diabetic medication glucovance 5/500 have an effect on my urine drug test? ## Neither the Gluburide, nor the Metformin in Glucovance are known to cause false positives on drug tests. However, if you are having any type of kidney problem, that could cause false positives. Where you taking anything else?
