Glimepiride for Type 2 Diabetes "I have been taking Amaryl for 3 weeks and it has lowered my blood sugars by 70 points. I do have stomach problems since taking this medication. I do find that I have to watch my sugars as, after about 2 hours, my sugar level drops."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Just started this medicine after Januvia made me feel like I had Lyme disease. Have been on glimepiride 1 mg once a day for a month. Works great on lowering sugar levels. My stomach and intestines blow out like a balloon after I eat no matter what it is. Makes me weepy, moody, and have gained 7 lbs in one month. Not going to live like this!"

For Type 2 Diabetes "After a rare side effect from Metformin, my doc put me on this. It's worked really well at getting my numbers down. I will get tummy aches if I try to take it with too little food. It can also make me munchy or my blood sugar dip an hour or two after taking. But as long as I have something on hand for it, it's not major for me. I agree with the comment that a mid-morning snack is probably a good idea with this. Also, I noticed that when I eat things that are sugary, my body is better at saying 'enough' and has an aversion to things too sweet. That's a good addition. Overall, I can't complain. Seems to do the job with minimal interference in my life."
