Acarbose, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, delays absorption of carbohydrate in the gut, thereby lowering postprandial glucose levels. Safety data on this drug have been gathered in a series of studies on animals and in extensive clinical trials in humans. Although an initial long term feeding study
BACKGROUND
Alpha glucosidase inhibitor (GI) attenuates postprandial hyperglycemia (PPH) and reduces the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with impaired glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes. Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors also attenuate PPH. PPH is one of the factors leading to
We present the case of a diabetic patient on treatment with acarbose who had presented a sigmoid volvulus with localized cystic pneumatosis of the sigmoid colon.A 72-year-old patient with a medical history of atrial fibrillation, DNID in treatment since 10 BACKGROUND
Currently, 42% of the US population with diabetes is aged ≥65 years.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this review was to discuss the efficacy and tolerability of noninsulin therapies for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with an emphasis on patients aged ≥65 years.
METHODS
PubMed and EMBASE
We observed 3 diabetic patients with intolerable dizziness followed by nausea and vomiting immediately after an initial administration of the alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, voglibose. These symptoms did not recur after discontinuation of the drug. Adverse effects as observed in these cases have not
BACKGROUND
Early initiation of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with recombinant human acid alpha-glucosidase is an effective treatment for patients with infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD) but cannot prevent a slow progression of myopathy. Albuterol has been shown to be helpful in adult patients
Late-onset Pompe disease is a rare genetic neuromuscular disorder caused by lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) deficiency that ultimately results in mobility loss and respiratory failure. Current enzyme replacement therapy with recombinant human (rh)GAA has demonstrated efficacy in subjects with
Metformin alone is the glucose-lowering drug of first choice for patients with type 2 diabetes. None of the other glucose-lowering drugs available in 2014 have any proven efficacy in preventing diabetes complications. How important are adverse effects in the choice of glucose-lowering alternatives
Hesperidin is present in the traditional Chinese medicine, "Chen Pi," and recently was reported to have anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, we were interested in comparing the effects of hesperidin and hesperidin-3'-O-methylether on phosphodiesterase inhibition and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR)
UNASSIGNED
To assess the overall safety and efficacy of lixisenatide in combination with background oral antidiabetic drug treatment in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes, as required by Japanese guidelines.
METHODS
A phase 3, multicenter, uncontrolled, open-label, four-arm, parallel-group study
The goal of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of 0.75 mg of dulaglutide, a once weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) on a single oral hypoglycemic agent (OHA). In this phase 3, nonrandomized, open-label, parallel-group,
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitor can suppress postprandial hyperglycemia by delaying the absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine, and may be useful in obese patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and preserved insulin secretion. We encountered an obese elderly patient with
