Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This 31 week study is a single centre, randomised parallel group comparison with a crossover of treatment at 12 weeks. The study will consist of a 6 week run-in period of a stable dose of Diamicron equivelant to the previous sulphonylurea dose.(Table 4) Followed by a 12 week period to either Diamicron MR or Amaryl once daily in random order. (Table 3)

During the Diamicron run-in phase and prior to randomisation to either Diamicron MR or Amaryl, the patients will be fitted with the Minimed Continuous Glucose Monitor and instructed in the appropriate care and calibration procedure. Continuous monitoring will take place for three days.

Prior to crossover of treatment at 12 weeks and prior to completion of the study at 28 weeks, the Continuous Glucose Monitor will be re-fitted for 3 days monitoring of interstitial glucose values.

Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
To ensure the investigator is blinded to the treatment allocation for each participant, the study co-ordinator will down load the data from the CGMS. Data from each participant will be downloaded at the visits but will not be anlysed until the completion of the patients participation in the trial.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Subjects will be randomised using a randomisation list created by a table of random numbers. 50% will be assigned to Treatment A and the other 50% will be assigned Treatment B.
