Enrollment: 36
Study Start Date: May 2003
Study Completion Date: December 2005
Primary Completion Date: December 2005 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Rosiglitazone Drug: rosiglitazone
Active Comparator: Glyburide Drug: glyburide

Detailed Description:

Rosiglitazone and glyburide are two commonly used diabetic medications that have both been shown to be effective in controlling blood glucose levels. Since they work in different ways, they may have different effects on the health of the blood vessels. This study will assess which medication is better at improving the health of the arteries separate from the blood glucose lowering effects. Artery health will be assessed non-invasively by ultrasound. Certain markers of atherosclerosis found in the blood will also be measured.
