I just started with Amaryl about a month ago. Numbers still weren't where I wanted them so doc upped me to 1mg twice a day. I should be able to tell if it's working in a week or so. So far, no side effects except a little gas.

I am not sure why my Doctor put me on Glimepiride ( reduced from 2 mgs to 1 mg daily). It lowers my blood sugar between 45-75 a few hours after breakfast.
