Comment:
This has NOT worked for me. My sugars are still in the 200's. The side effects are I get really sleepy within an hour of taking it and try to remember to take during a meal. I am taking 2 mg twice a day along with another med. Hope to get this changed next week.

Comment:
Drs. started me out with too high a dose and had many low sugars. I am now just taking 1 mg in AM and 1 mg with dinner. Completely changed my diet and lost 7 pounds. Still tired, but doing better. Numbers dropped from 340 to 122 average in 2 weeks. Drs. put me on metformin, had a bad trip from that - never again taking that stuff.

Comment:
This medication has controlled my sugar, however, one of the doctors Ihave recently seen suggests that Ishould not continue the medication and switch to insulin,I am not happy about this. He is stating that this 2mg Glimepiride causes damage to the pancreatic cells. What is your opinion?
