Do you mean "Amaryl"?
Glimepiride (generic name) Amaryl (brand name) is used along with diet and exercise, and sometimes with other medications, to treat type 2 diabetes (condition in which the body does not use insulin normally and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood). Glimepiride lowers blood sugar by causing the pancreas to produce insulin (a natural substance that is needed to break down sugar in the body) and helping the body use insulin efficiently. This medication will only help lower blood sugar in people whose bodies produce insulin naturally.
You should try to reduce fasting blood sugar less than 100 mg/dL and post-prandial blood sugar less than 140 mg/dL.
* Avoid single high concentrated meals.
* Small frequent meals, more times in a day.
* Food high in fibre content like vegetables, whole pulses, fruits, etc.
* Avoid consuming foods after 6:00 pm.(alternate medicine).
* Check your fasting blood sugar daily and avoid foods that cause elevated blood sugar levels. Post-prandial blood sugar may also be checked occasionally.
Ideal combination of diabetic diet should be:--
Carbohydrates: 55-60%.
Fat: 30%.
Proteins: 15-20% (0.8g /kg /body wt).
Fibres 40 g/day.

Dear Dr,
I agree with your comments on Allopathic medicine , however I tried Homeo medicne for couple of months but the FBS and PP increased so I had to revert back .
In all cases both Allpathy and Other drugs needs to be taken simultaneousely for some months ,and during this reduction of Allopathy ,Bood sugar level increases.
In case you have some proven alternatives please suggest
