Text: Glimepiride was associated with a significantly greater responder rate than acarbose (61 vs 34 %, p < 0. 001), significantly greater decreases in HbA1c (2. 5 + / - 2. 2 % vs 1. 8 + / - 2. 2 %, p = 0. 014) and FBG (2. 6 + / - 2. 6 mmol/l vs 1. 4 + / - 2. 8 mmo/l, p = 0. 004), a decreased glucose response to breakfast compared with acarbose [area under curve (AUC) end : 8. 9 + / - 2. 7 mmol/l vs 11. 3 + / - 3. 9 mmol/l, p = 0. 0001], and was accompanied by significantly greater compliance (91 < or = 12 % vs 66 + / - 26 %, p = 0. 0001).
