I've never heard of type 2s on just pills carrying glucose tablets around. Generally speaking, pills won't cause lows, but I don't know the specifics of glyburide (or any of the oral medications).

I always carry mine around.

Like someone else said, 4 tabs is the golden standard, but for a mild low (70s) I find 1 tab is enough.

How low are you going? If you are going low frequently, it suggests your glyburide is too high.
