How does Micronase (Glyburide) work?

Glyburide Insulin is a hormone that is produced in the pancreas. That when released into the blood, it causes cells in the body to remove sugar from the blood. It decreases the formation of glucose by the liver. Those people with type 2 diabetes have high glucose levels in their blood. It is because the cells in their bodies are resistant to the glucose-removing effect of the insulin. The liver creates too much glucose.

In addition, in type 2 diabetes the pancreas is unable to create the increased amounts of insulin that are necessary to overcome the resistance. This drug reduces blood sugar by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin.
