Abstract
Non-insulin dependent, or type 2, diabetes mellitus in a patient is treated by administering to the patient a hypoglycemic agent that enhances plasma concentrations of amylin and a therapeutically effective amount of an amylin antagonist. Hypoglycemic agents which enhance plasma concentrations of amylin can be sulfonylureas such as glibenclamide and tolbutamide. Amylin antagonists can be amylin 8-37 and CGRP 8-37. Administration of the amylin antagonist in conjunction with the hypoglycemic agent also enhances the blood glucose lowering effects of the hypoglycemic agent.
