Long-term Safety of Pioglitazone vs Glyburide for Type 2 Diabetes -
Medscape, 12/1/06 - "Patients with
type 2 diabetes mellitus achieve glycemic control safely and effectively
with both pioglitazone and glyburide treatment; however, the results of this
study suggest that long-term treatment with pioglitazone is superior to
glyburide with respect to tolerability. Overall, pioglitazone treatment
resulted in sustained glycemic control, fewer patient withdrawals due to
lack of efficacy or hypoglycemia, and fewer cardiac events compared with
glyburide"

Durability of Rosiglitazone, Metformin, or Glyburide Monotherapy - N Engl J
Med. 2006 Dec 4- "Kaplan-Meier analysis showed
a cumulative incidence of monotherapy failure at 5 years of 15% with
rosiglitazone, 21% with metformin, and 34% with glyburide. This represents a
risk reduction of 32% for rosiglitazone, as compared with metformin, and 63%, as
compared with glyburide (P<0.001 for both comparisons). The difference in the
durability of the treatment effect was greater between rosiglitazone and
glyburide than between rosiglitazone and metformin. Glyburide was associated
with a lower risk of cardiovascular events (including congestive heart failure)
than was rosiglitazone (P<0.05), and the risk associated with metformin was
similar to that with rosiglitazone. Rosiglitazone was associated with more
weight gain and edema than either metformin or glyburide but with fewer
gastrointestinal events than metformin and with less hypoglycemia than
glyburide"

Effect of metformin and sulfonylurea on C-reactive protein level in well-controlled type 2 diabetics with metabolic syndrome - Endocrine 2003 Apr;20(3):215-8 -
"CRP level was significantly lower in patients using metformin for blood glucose control compared with those using glibenclamide,
5.56 and 8.3 mg/L, respectively ... The data showed that metformin decreases the level of circulating CRP, a marker of inflammation, more than glibenclamide"
