Dear sir
Novonorm 2 oh contains repaglinide which is a shorter acting secretogogue.
Amaryl 4 mg contains glimieperide which is a secretogogue which acts through another receptor
But action of these drugs depends upon viable beta cells.
It is better to go for insulin as it will have beta cell preservation.
Thanks
