[Comparative evaluation of the hypoglycemic effect of the 2d-generation sulfonylurea preparations maninil and diamicron in diabetes mellitus]. / Sravnitel'naia otsenka gipoklikemiziruiushchego éffekta preparatov sul'fonilmocheviny vtorogo pokoleniia maninila i diamikrona u bol'nykh sakharnym diabetom.

Glycemia level and diurnal glucosuria were studied in the morning, afternoon and evening in a group of 27 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus before and after diamicron therapy for 1.5 to 3 months. A similar investigation was performed in a group of 20 patients, suffering from diabetes mellitus of the second type before and following maninil treatment during 1.5 to 2 months. It was shown that diamicron exerts a more pronounced sugar-lowering effect in comparison with that of maninil. It promotes stable glycemia development and should take an appropriate place among hypoglycemics used now in diabetology.
