What Experts Say

Glimepiride helps the pancreas release more insulin, which lowers blood sugar after meals and through the day in people with type 2 diabetes.

It is usually taken once daily with the first main meal, and the dose is adjusted by a doctor based on blood sugar readings over time.

The main risk is blood sugar dropping too low, especially if a meal is skipped or delayed, which matters particularly during Ramadan fasting, so anyone fasting should discuss timing and dose adjustments with their doctor beforehand.
