What Experts Say

Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, which helps lower blood sugar after meals and through the day.

It is taken once daily, usually with the first main meal, since skipping food after a dose can cause blood sugar to drop too low.

Regular blood sugar monitoring matters, and anyone feeling shaky, sweaty, or confused should treat it as possible low blood sugar right away.
