If the “A-Mo-Li” you mentioned refers to glimepiride, then this medication belongs to the sulfonylurea class of antidiabetic drugs. Its primary mechanism of action is to stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells, thereby lowering blood glucose levels. Since you have already visited a reputable local hospital and completed your medical evaluation, you should follow the treatment plan prescribed by your physician, including the use of the aforementioned medication. Additionally, we recommend adopting a low-sugar diet.
