Metformin 500mg Glimepiride 2mg

When this tablet to be taken? Before meal or after meal? ## Hello, how are you? Unless your doctor has instructed otherwise, this should be taken just before a meal. That way it has a chance to start working by the time you are digesting your food, which is when you'd normally experience the biggest blood sugar fluctuations. Learn more Metformin details here. Learn more Glimepiride details here. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, flatulence and low blood sugar. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am 59 years old and have had type 2 diabetes for ~5 years. I've just relocated from Texas to California and am between doctors. I'm 5'5", weigh 260 lbs, and recently started to have extremely low (30) blood sugars at night. I've been taking 2 x 500 mg Metformin and 1 x 2 mg Glimepiride after breakfast and after dinner. What can/should I decrease? ## Hello, Joe! How are you? What type of foods do you eat? Have you tried having a small snack, before bed? Have you gotten into a new doctor, yet? That would be the best thing to do, rather than trying to adjust your medications on your own. You are diabetic, so you need to have things checked out by a doctor regularly. Do you get a lot of exercise?

What are the differences in Glycomet GP1 Forte and Glycomet GP2 Forte? ## They both contain Metformin and Glimepiride, however, the difference is in the dosage of the Glimepiride in them.
