title: The effect of an anorectic agent (Mazindol) on control of obese diabetics.
abstract: The use of an anorectic drug (mazindol) did not significantly interfere with the therapy needed to maintain control in obese diabetics. In two of four insulin-requiring patients, a reduction of the insulin requirement occurred when weight was lost. No change was needed in oral hypoglycaemic therapy in the six weeks of the trial.
