ABSTRACT
Insulin tolerance test was done to assess the insulin sensitivity in a group of untreated non insulin dependent diabetic subjects before and after sulfonylurea (tolbutamide, glibenclamide, glipizide) therapy. The parameters studied were KITT, slope of the blood glucose fall, summation values, and area under the curve of glucose response. All the three commonly used sulphonylurea drugs improved insulin sensitivity after 4 weeks of therapy.
