User Reviews for glimepiride oral

went from 1mg, then 2mg and did not help blood sugar. Two days ago was switched to 4mg and my blood sugar has sored. 289 yesterday and 233 today, after meals check. Had to quit taking metformin due to kidneys. Why would the stronger dose make my blood sugar go way up? Had lettuce salad with chicken strips the first day and veggies with smoked beef sausage the second day.

just started this med after metformin gave me unbearable cramps and loose stools!! Hoping it works, scared of side effects...

I am 59 years old and started taking Glimepiride 2 mg twice a day about 3 or 4 years ago. I started noticing petit mal seizures shortly afterwards, but contributed them to other medical conditions. I started having gran mal seizures in November 2013, with the most recent seizure on 10/2/2014, where I was unconscious for 25 minutes. I need to find out if others are experiencing seizures also. I've decreased the dosage to 1 mg twice a day, but my sugar levels are rising. Any help or information would be appreciated. Thank you! Read More Read Less

I have been taking Glimepiride 4mg for less than a month. I split the pill in half and only take 2mg a day. It made me very light headed at first and dropped my blood sugar numbers by 100 points the first day I took it. I do notice frequent urination and slight constipation since starting the medication. I also am taking 1,000mg of MetFormin a day to control my Type 2.

I have noticed a slight sore throat on occasion and I see sore throat is one of the side effects. Has anyone else noticed this as effect of glimepiride?

When initially diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes I started with metformin and insulin. After six months the doctor replaced the insulin with 2 mg of glimepiride per day. My glucose levels have continued to drop. My A1C when I was diagnosed was 12.4 and it is currently 6.3. My main concern is that gimepiride can cause hypoglycemia if you are not careful with what you eat (or what you don't eat!). I find that if I don't have a mid morning snack my glucose level tends to be too low late morning. This may also be related to the fact that I very frequently exercise early in the morning. I have not have any side effects from taking glimepiride and has allowed me to get off of insulin, so I am extremely happy with it.Read More Read Less

glampiride has worked awesome for me for the first 8 years then they must of changed something in the ingredients in it because i started breaking out with a terrible horrible rash. the doctors took me off of it. now they have been treating me with other diabetic meds but my A1C and my sugars are higher than before. did they change the ingredients in the glimepiride with in the last 3 years?

I can't take it at night, it causes my blood sugar to bottom out,

It lowered sugar level from 115 to 90 the first few days of use as substute for mediform I was taking.

one mg seems not to be strong enough.

Just started 2 mgs at the beginning of Dec. Fasting blood sugars have been between 190-210 for a long time. After several days, my fasting was good, but shortly after eating a snack or meal, I get really jittery and grab everything in sight to get my blood sugar up. Just haven't been able to quite manage it. I cut down to 1 mg. but am still having the shakes, not as bad, but not sure what to do. See my doctor again in Feb.

Does not lower my blood sugar levels, also take Januvia which does not help either

advised by doctor.

I have been using glimepiride since april 2012;started with a dose 4mg aday before breakfast then gradually with low dose.Until now am using it, 2mg aday before breakfast. I found out very effective in my case, type 2 diabetes.

Started out with fasting blood sugars at 109 each morning and they have increased to 157 today. ( About a week and a half now) I also take Januvia 50mg each morning. I don't eat anything after 5 or 6pm. What is wrong?
