The sulfonylureas stimulate the production and release of insulin from the pancreas.If the glucose level is low,the patient should contact the health care provider before taking the glyburide,because hypoglycemia can occur with this class of medication.Metformin should be held for 48 hours after administration of IV contrast media,but this is not necessary for glyburide.Glucagon secretion is not affected by glyburide.
