Background: In monogenic diabetes due to KCNJ11 and ABCC8 mutations that impair KATP- channel function, sulphonylureas improve long-term glycaemic control. Although KATP channels are extensively expressed in the brain, the effect of sulphonylureas on neurological function has varied widely. We evaluated published evidence about potential effects of sulphonylureas on neurological features, especially epilepsy, cognition, motor function and muscular tone, visuo-...
