acarbose/nausea

OBJECTIVE To compare the metabolic effects of acarbose and repaglinide in type 2 diabetic patients who are being treated with a sulphonylurea-metformin combination therapy. The primary endpoint of the study was to evaluate which add-on treatment between acarbose and repaglinide is more efficacious

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

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of sitagliptin when added to the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and inadequate glycemic control on acarbose monotherapy. This was a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial. Patients (N = 381) with T2DM

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of acarbose monotherapy during 12-weeks treatment on the fasting glycemic level, lipid and lipoproteins profiles, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS Type 2 diabetics were selected from out patient department of Baqai Diabetes and Endocrine Centre, and

Dyspeptic syndrome is a common complication of treatment with antidiabetic drugs. This may be a trivial as well as a very serious complication. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite and taste disturbances are the most common symptoms of dyspeptic problems in patients treated

OBJECTIVE To investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of LY2189265 (LY), a novel, long-acting glucagen-like peptide-1 analogue, administered once weekly to subjects with type 2 diabetes. METHODS This was a placebo-controlled, parallel-group, subject- and

BACKGROUND First-phase insulin secretion (within 10 min after a sudden rise in plasma glucose) is reduced in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). The incretin mimetic exenatide has glucoregulatory activities in DM2, including glucose-dependent enhancement of insulin secretion. OBJECTIVE The objective of

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
