High angular resolution measurements of a sample of 15M giants at 2.2μm by the technique of lunar occultation are presented in this paper. We obtain angular diameters for 11 sources of which five are the first diameter measurements. For these resolved sources we have estimated the effective temperatures, which are consistent with previous calibrations. For the other four sources we put the first upper limits on their angular sizes to be 2mas. Two sources, namely IRC+20090 and IRC+20067, yield appreciably low temperatures, which could point to their possible Mira nature. For sources with Hipparcos parallax measurements, we have calculated the linear radii.
