[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1236144, member: 52527"] Dear Galja I don't think that who I know is relevant to the discussion. Perhaps you think I implied that sulfonylureas do not have side effects? I didn't. All drugs have side effects with some people. What I was saying was that if substances have a chemical group in common it does not necessarily mean that their effects are identical. Even if some sulfonyureas are used as weedkillers, we cannot assume all sulfonylureas kill weeds or indeed, are harmful to humans. If you had a bad reaction to sulfonylureas, you shouldn't take them. It doesn't mean that they can't be useful for other people. Even if all the people I know on sulfonylureas had side-effects we could not infer anything other than "some people on sulfonylureas have side effects". The only way to judge how prevalent side-effects are is to have some kind of double-blind study where neither participants nor clinical staff know whether the patient is taking the sulfonylurea and the side-effects are recorded.
