title: [Behavior of the fasting blood sugar values in diabetics treated with oral and parenteral pentoxifylline].
abstract: Fasting blood sugar levels in hospitalized diabetics with peripheral vascular disease receiving pentoxifylline i.v. and p.o. did not-in comparison to a control group-show statistically significant changes during the observation period in well-controlled, stable diabetes mellitus (BS is less than or equal to 130 mg%); a decrease did occur in hyperglycemic patients. As a hypoglycemic drug effect was not demonstrable in the well-controlled patient-group, the decrease might well be attributable to improved dietary and antidiabetic care during the hospital-stay.
