[Treatment of diabetes without biguanides. Observation on the course after changing treatment (author's transl)]. 1979

I Walter-Sack, and G Wolfram, and N Zöllner

In 56 patients with maturity onset diabetes receiving combined therapy with different oral hypoglycemic drugs, biguanide treatment was stopped while sulphonylurea compounds were continued without major changes. In four patients insulin therapy had to be initiated rapidly. In 14 other patients follow-up observations could not be performed for various reasons. The reamining 38 patients were divided into four groups according to their treatment. On the average, chemical control could not be maintained in any group after discontinuation of biguanide therapy. Blood glucose concentrations and glycosuria increased. Later, in 6 of 38 patients secondary failure of sulphonylurea treatment became apparent.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
