OBJECTIVE: There are reports suggesting that currently available drugs used in the management of Type 2 diabetes do not sustain metabolic control on long term basis. We therefore assessed metabolic control and insulin resistance indices in Type 2 diabetic patients commonly treated with sulphonylurea drugs at primary care setting.METHOD: One hundred and seventy-nine (117 females, 62 males) randomly selected Type 2 diabetic patients attending primary care...

OBJECTIVE. Previous studies of relatives of patients with type 2 diabetes had given valuable information necessary for the current attempts towards primary prevention of diabetes. Thus, we aimed to assess the changes in anthropometric, metabolic and insulin resistance indices in a previously studied group of offspring of type 2 diabetic patients.METHOD: Twenty-three (23) previously studied offspring of patients with type 2 diabetes participated for re-assessment of diabetic ri...
