What is it that keeps the K+ channels from closing in diabetics?

[@GofishingandloveGod]

Thank you...I'm currently taking glipizide 10mg. I maintain my best control over the years with glyburide. I wish I could go back.

I'm borderline diabetic and I take this med. It seems to reduce my glucose.

1:25 Isn’t it hyperglycaemia ? When the glucose level is increased??

[@youredumb]

Yes that’s what he said it’s just his accent

[@SergyOrloff]

1:54 "...ultimately to reduce hypoglycemia"? But hypoglycemia is a condition in which your blood sugar (glucose) level is lower than the standard range.

I was told basically it kicks the crap out of your pancreas until it no longer functions at all and you end up on insulin anyway.
