Question: 1 / 400

Which statement by a client taking glyburide indicates a need for further instruction?

"I should avoid alcohol intake with this new medication."

"I should call my healthcare provider if blood glucose is below 60 mg/dL."

"I should read labels on all foods I eat, including those labeled 'sugarless'."

"This medication will help me lose weight."

The statement "This medication will help me lose weight" indicates a need for further instruction. Glyburide is an oral hypoglycemic agent belonging to the sulfonylurea class, primarily used to stimulate insulin release from the pancreas in order to lower blood glucose levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. While glyburide can be beneficial in managing blood sugar levels, it is not indicated for weight loss; in fact, some patients may experience weight gain as a side effect. Understanding the primary use of glyburide and the potential effects on weight management is crucial for patients to set realistic expectations and adhere to their diabetes management plan effectively.
