Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I advise you to take Fasting and Postprandial Blood sugar level and HbA1C as high blood sugar leads to the above mentioned symptoms. Glyburide might also cause muscle pain as its side effects. Consult your physician for the change of medications if needed.
