No Effect of an α-Glucosidase Inhibitor on Glucose Metabolism in Patients with Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus and Low Function of Pancreatic β Cells
Twenty patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus who had been receiving appropriate dietary treatment for 3 months but whose glucose metabolism needed further improvement were treated with an α-glucosidase inhibitor. Treatment with the α-glucosidase inhibitor (0.6 mg/day) for 4 weeks, had no significant effect on blood glucose levels 2 h after breakfast or on glycosylated haemoglobin levels.
