Is it allowed to take Glimepiride during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Sulfonilurea drugs stimulate secretion of endogen insulin. Oral anti-diabetic drugs are useless for treatment of diabetes type 1. For diabetes type 2, diet and exercise are advisable. Breastfeeding helps to lower glucemia level. See section on Maternal diabetes mellitus

Horrible product. Sugar levels went through the roof consistently. It does not work. Make you nauseous dizzy sleepy. Light headed feeling and unable to focus. Stopped taking and all went back to normal. Nothing but snake oil.
