I started taking glyburide for gestational diabetes 2 days ago, and today I am throwing up every hour?
I looked into glyburide side effects and nausea and fever are both listed as occurring in 1.8% of users. My ob-gyn & nutritionist & perinatoligist can all be reached Monday. Should I take the glyburide tommorrow morning, or skip it?
It is a drug used to make insulin work more efficiently, my numbers are a bit high, but in the "pre-diabetes" category. My normal fasting without the drug ranges from 85 – 110, and my one hour after meals ranges from 105 – 150.
I am 30 weeks pregnant, and even clear liquids are making me vomit. I can keep them down long enough to prevent dehydration, and am drinking some sugar water to try to keep my blood sugar from getting to low, but I can only hold it down for an hour max. My fever is 101 after having taken 2 tylenol 1.5 hours ago.

Your blood sugars don’t seem to be that much out of line. When I found out I was pregnant and had my blood work done my AC1 was dangerously high at 12.6 (and had been for some time) I had to go on insulin (short and long acting) which luckily, with a tremendous amount of help from my perinatologist and a group of doctors and nurses at O’Connor Hospital in San Jose, CA, quickly and effectively helped me bring my sugar levels back to a safe level. In short, they saved my baby’s life.
I was told that insulin was the most effective and safest thing I could take. Are you taking insulin?
It is my understanding that glyburide is not recommended during pregnancy and classified as Pregnancy Category C.
My main concern for you right now is your fever 101 after taking Tylenol and the high risk of dehydration. Why do you have a fever? My advice is to GO TO THE HOSPITAL ER NOW! Go where you are planning to deliver your child. I know at the hospital where I delivered, they took me straight up to the maternity ward to access my conditions.
Don’t risk the heath of your two beautiful babies. Better safe than sorry! Remember, Monday is a Holiday and your doctors may not be available…. either way, I’d go. Right now!

I suggest you try some pepto bismol for the nausea if it won’t cause problems with your baby.
The fever is the scary part. Perhaps you should call an urgent care facility or hospital.
You don’t want to risk harming your baby.
Congrats o the baby!
Boy or girl? Or do you want to be surprised?
What do you think it is going to be?
January 20th, 2010 at 12:16 pmYou need to go to an ER or urgent care center. Your fever should not be that high on fever reducers and is alarming given the fact that you are pregnant. Deal with the rest later.
January 20th, 2010 at 12:16 pmKnow what? It could also be the flu. Maybe you should go to the walk in clinic? At least call your pharmacist and ask about the glyburide.
