I’m really sorry to welcome you to the club. You seem to have a really good attitude towards this, I think for many of us being diagnosed with diabetes really bummed us out.
I have to be honest, one of the things that many of us learn is that we need to become experts on our health and take over a primary role in making medical decisions. It is good you have been given a diagnosis of T1/LADA, many people are misdiagnosed. Our fellow member @Melitta has a very good guide to getting properly diagnosed. But I have to tell you Glimepiride is considered a poor medication for type 2 and is totally inadvisable for someone with T1/LADA. Glimepiride is associated with loss of beta cell function and accelerated loss of blood sugar control. I would encourage you to ask your doctor for alternates. You should do some reading on Glimepiride (and the class of drugs called sulfonylureas) and you are entirely within your rights to refuse a medication that you think is not in your best interest.
ps. I used to live within 25 miles of Dartmouth as well.
