Data are expressed in the comparable manner through the method of defined daily doses (DDD), which has been adopted for drugs in our country according to the internationally agreed method of drug utilization [Stanulovi? et al. 1981]. Together with Iceland, Novi Sad had the lowest insulin utilization in 1976, the rate being 1.7 DDD/1000 inhabitants per day. Insulin was used 7.2 times less than in Sweden. However, the utilization of biguanide of 6 DDD/1000 inhabitants per day was 10 times greater than in other European countries. Prescribing rate of preparations of sulfonylurea in Novi Sad was high (8.2 DDD/1000 inhabitants per day); only Sweden came closer to these values. Causes contributing to these differences could be found in the relation between juvenile diabetes and adult onset diabetes as well as in physicians' attitudes towards therapy, in nutritional status and degree of obesity in the population, age structure of population, number of dietitians in the diabetological service, etc. Diabetologists and clinical pharmacologists should explain causes leading to these differences and determine side effects of available antidiabetic drugs, either positive or negative, in order to enable their optimum utilization.
