Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is becoming more and more common diagnosis. Failure in compliance with therapeutic lifestyle change leads to introduction of pharmacotherapy. Recently several novel antidiabetic drugs have been introduced to the clinic. Nevertheless, there are still ongoing trials that should put these novel drugs into the perspective of current treatment of diabetes. Till then it is imperative not to forget about older, commonly used and effective antidiabetic drugs that are currently available on the market. Sulfonylureas, especially those belonging to II and III generation (e.g. glimepiride) are one of those drugs.
