Abstract
In order to investigate the clinical usefulness of glimepiride in NIDD M, some clinical trials were conducted. In a double-blind comparative study versus gliclazide, glimepiride was as efficacious as gliclazide. However, a subgroup analysis suggested glimepiride may have been more effective in severe patients treated by large doses of glibenclamide.
