Insulin Dependent Diabetic

A double blind urographic study with the ionic contrast medium metrizoate or the non-ionic medium iohexol was perfomed on 69 insulin dependent diabetic patients. Metrizoate caused 24 per cent and iohexol 11 per cent mild adverse reactions and metrizoate a significant decrease in creatinine clearance values. Thus iohexol turned out to be better tolerated by these diabetic patients than metrizoate. References

Ionic Contrast Medium

A double-blind urographic and angiographic study was done with the ionic contrast medium meglumine metrizoate and the non-ionic iohexol in 90 patients with diabetes mellitus. Twenty patients were insulin dependent, and 70 non-insulin dependent diabetics. Diabetic patients with decreased as well as normal renal function prior to the examination sustained a reversible and small increase in the plasma creatinine level postexamination. The small increase caused by meglumine metrizoate was significantly higher than the increase caused by iohexol. There was also a significantly higher increase in plasma creatinine among the patients with diabetic nephropathy compared with those without nephropathy.

Insulin Dependent Diabetic

Twenty insulin-dependent diabetic patients with signs of background retinopathy were given Buflomedil 600 mg/day orally or placebo in a randomized double-blind trial for a 6-month period. A larger number of patients had their retinal condition deteriorating in the placebo group and this finding is an indication for pursuing investigations on a larger scale in this direction.
