Diabetes, Type 2
"Diabetic for 7 years.  Started with Metformin only.  Then added Starlix with meals.  Small improvement with post-prandials.  Exchanged the Starlix with glimepiride.  Have been on glimepiride for 2 and a half years with meals.  Does not prevent my spikes but does pull them down within a short time. The sudden drop makes me feel low when I am just &quot;dropping&quot; FAST into the normal range.  The problem is the time it remains in effect will cause me to be low (50;s) during the night while sleeping if I take with last meal of day.  Without it, I skyrocket after eating and slowly come down.  My doctor is taking me off of glimepiride because of the lows while sleeping and will put me on another med.  My A1C&#039;s have been climbing over the past year."
