[Treatment of newly diagnosed type II diabetic patients with special reference to prescribing glibenclamide in low doses].
In the period of 15 months 90% of all newly registered type II diabetics of a district area (70 males, 122 females) were prospectively thoroughly examined above all in hospital, standardizedly stabilized and have been followed up for 1 year with regard to their therapy behaviour. From the features obtained (age, body weight, heredity, symptomatology, blood glucose and insulin concentrations basally and after 75 g oGTT) subgroupings were worked out relevant for the therapy. 64% of the newly registered type II diabetics could be stabilized purely dietetically (males 70%, females 60.7%). Female type II diabetics revealed the worse course of therapy. Younger age, overweight, genetic load and higher insulin concentrations are markers of the importance of the insulin resistance and a domain of the basis therapy. Older age, normal weight in connection with higher blood glucose and lower insulin concentrations as an expression of the insulin deficit of higher degree render in most cases possible a treatment with SH-preparations. Small doses of glibenclamide proved to be very favourable both in not purely dietetically manageable younger patients and in older patients. 68% of all SH-cases did with a dosage of 1-3 mg glibenclamide a day, 28% with 1 mg a day. The pathophysiologic and pharmacologic mechanisms are discussed.
