Due to its inhibitory effect on the secretion of insulin and glucagon, the administration of Stilamin can, at the onset of treatment, lead to a transient fall in blood glucose level. Caution is, therefore, called for in insulin-dependent diabetic patients in whom blood glucose should be measured every 3-4 hours. Simultaneous administration of insulin requiring sugars should, if possible, be avoided. If necessary, insulin should be administered.
