In an effort to pry Olivia off the computer and out into the real world, I took her with me this morning to the Y.

I'm trying, trying really hard to figure out how this Glyburide stuff works.

I get that part.
What I don't get is how does it work. Because frankly, it's working too well.
A few weeks ago, my doctor put me on 5 mg of Glyburide twice a day. One pill later I came crashing down from somewhere around 200 to the 60s. The next day, he said wait until your blood sugar goes back up and take one-quarter of a pill twice a day.
