Glimepiride works by prompting the pancreas to release more insulin, which carries sugar from the blood into the cells. Metformin reduces the amount of sugar made in the liver and helps the body use its own insulin. Taken together, the two ingredients help improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.
