Glyburide follow-up

The glyburide really seems to be working. I've been well under 95 every morning, except the morning after I forgot my glyburide and had a fasting blood glucose level of 104.

Despite the fact that my fasting number is so much lower, I quickly discovered that I still need to go for a walk after breakfast to keep my post-breakfast reading under 130, otherwise it ends up slightly elevated. But a 10-12 minute walk will generally keep it under 120.

The rest of my post-meal readings are consistently under 130 (with a few exceptions I have posted about previously), so I am able to keep them in check through diet and exercise. It really seems to be the mornings I have the most trouble with.

I want to ask my OB at my next visit (Sept 4) when I should stop taking the glyburide. The nurse indicated I would take it until I delivered, but not after since you can't take it while breastfeeding. But the information that came with the prescription says you should stop taking it 2 weeks before your anticipated due date so it won't show up in your breast milk. I might be taking a low enough dose that it's not a concern, but I do want to verify since I intend to breastfeed exclusively.
