Horrible product. Sugar levels went through the roof consistently. It does not work. Make you nauseous dizzy sleepy. Light headed feeling and unable to focus. Stopped taking and all went back to normal. Nothing but snake oil.

Started on Glimepiride 2 weeks after diagnosis and beginning Metformin in November 2007. The Metformin started to lower my blood glucose, but within days of adding Glimepiride, my sugar got totally under control. I'm averaging 87 mg/Dl over the past 3 months and my A1c is down to 6.0 from 11.3. Virtually no ill effects. My doctor want to use my labwork to show other patients that glucose control can work with proper treatment.

I take this with Januvia and it works better than anything I have taken before. Finally I can get readings of 97-115. I hope it continues to work this well. But for now it is the best thing since baked bread.

this medication actually cut my blood sugar levels in half, I had to cut the mg to 2mg instead of 4mg. Works great.
