I was in the same boat as your husband. I needed the meds to control the carbs, and I needed the carbs to control the meds.

I got off that merry go round by discontinuing the glyburide I was on. It looks as though next week I'll be perscribed metformin - which doesn't cause the same lows as some of the other meds.

If you think your doctor will work with you, you should get in to see him/her and look at the possibility of adjusting medications.

Good luck.
