For Type 2 Diabetes "By taking Actos and insulin, my sugar is about 175 in the morning, but when I take only a 2 mg glimepiride at night, my sugar is 99 to 108. Just great. I'm 74 years young. Thank you."

Glimepiride for Type 2 Diabetes "I have had the Amaryl, and after 4 months my love life was gone, and another person that I know, he had the same problem. He is still using Amaryl, and now even Viagra doesn't work anymore."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Rather than reduce my blood sugar, this stuff actually caused a 150-200 point increase over the time that I took it. Needless to say, I'm back to glyburide for much better control."
