What Are the Effects of Avandaryl on Blood Sugar Levels?
Based on clinical studies, it occurs in up to 5.5 percent of people taking the drug. Low blood sugar from Avandaryl is most likely due to the glimepiride component of Avandaryl. Glimepiride works by forcing the pancreas to make more insulin, which can lead to low blood sugar. Low blood sugar is more common in elderly people and in people with adrenal, pituitary, liver, or kidney problems — as well as during fasting before surgery and after prolonged exercise.
