With proper diet, weight management, and exercise you shouldn't have to be taking two meds.... Metformin should be more than enough. Taking two meds is asking for trouble in my opinion. If you seriously want to control blood sugar with a minimum of meds, you should read my webpage on diabetes:

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/dwJzV
A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

go to medweb.com
each of these drugs has their own side-effects. and they're often prescribed together. i've taken metformin w/o problems...i think glyburide is also known as glipizide...not sure, but you need to get your own information.
EDITS: taking 2 meds is very common...one is used to lower blood glucose levels, and one is used to regenerate pancreatic beta cells...my 70 yr old mom is in total remission after drug and insulin therapy for 2 years...new beta cells...she's on no medications any longer. she eats "normally" and her a1c is that of a non diabetic. our doctor is also a type 2 diabetic, and has a great success rate with his program.

This medication may cause changes in your blood sugar. You should know the symptoms of low and high blood sugar and what to do if you have these symptoms.
You may experience hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) while you are taking this medication. Your doctor will tell you what you should do if you develop hypoglycemia. He or she may tell you to check your blood sugar, eat or drink a food or beverage that contains sugar, such as hard candy or fruit juice, or get medical care. Follow these directions carefully if you have any of the following symptoms of hypoglycemia:
shakiness
dizziness or lightheadedness
sweating
nervousness or irritability
sudden changes in behavior or mood
headache
numbness or tingling around the mouth
weakness

If hypoglycemia is not treated, severe symptoms may develop. Be sure that your family, friends, and other people who spend time with you know that if you have any of the following symptoms, they should get medical treatment for you immediately.

Please ask your doctor about this question first thing in the morning. Do not solicit medical advice on here when your life could depend on it.
