Abstract

Sulfonylureas and similarly acting rapid insulin secretagogues have long been available to manage type 2 diabetes. These agents have a well understood mechanism of action and are in large part well tolerated. However, sulfonylurea therapy is unlikely to sustain adequate long-term glycemic control and has potential side effects, including hypoglycemia and weight gain. Additional concerns exist regarding detrimental effects of certain sulfonylureas on ischemic preconditioning and cardiac outcomes. Fortunately, newer agents such as glimepiride appear less likely to adversely affect the myocardium. These agents can often be used successfully as one component of combination therapy for diabetes management.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 June 2019.
All research outputs
#18,441,836
of 22,851,489 outputs
Outputs from Current Diabetes Reports
#771
of 1,005 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#62,870
of 66,982 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Diabetes Reports
#2
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,851,489 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,005 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 66,982 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
