Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which the body’s cells are partially or completely unresponsive to insulin, which is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas to regulate the metabolism of sugars and fats in the body.

How does glimepiride work?

Glimepiride works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, which helps control high blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Like many diabetes medications, glimepiride is most effective when used alongside diet, exercise, and weight loss.

Glimepiride may be used alone or in combination with other oral anti-diabetic drugs. Research shows that the drug is better at lowering blood sugar levels when used in combination with other oral anti-diabetic drugs.
