All doses significantly reduced blood glucose values - and using only 1 gram of amla per day was just as effective
as Glimepiride.
They investigated the effect of both daily amla powder and
Glimepiride in normal subjects and those living with type 2 diabetes (11).
In a 2011 study, scientists investigated the effect of consuming 1, 2, or 3 grams of amla powder (again, a whole food amla powder — not amla juice or amla oil) per day on blood glucose and cholesterol levels
vs. Glimepiride, a commonly prescribed diabetes medication.
Some medications used for diabetes
include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), glipizide (Glucotrol), tolbutamide (Orinase), and others.
The Federal Joint Committee (G - BA) specified different appropriate comparator therapies for three possible different subindications: When the fixed combination is used alone, it is to be compared with the combination of a sulfonylurea (glibenclamide or
glimepiride) in combination with metformin.
Certain diabetes medicines, such as insulin or medicines that cause your pancreas to release insulin (such as glyburide, glipizide, or
glimepiride)
For example, an analysis of nearly 24,000 patients with type 2 diabetes found that three diabetes drugs — glipizide, glyburide, and
glimepiride — caused a more than 50 percent greater risk of death compared to another diabetes drug, Metformin.v The three drugs are known as sulfonylureas, which work by spurring your body to produce more insulin.

Alternatively,
glimepiride and glyburide (other sulfonylureas) may be administered to cats at 2 mg / day (glimepiride) or 0.625 mg / day (glyburide).
