Abstract
Seventeen non-insulin-dependent diabetics, poorly controlled by diet and sulphonylurea treatment, participated in a long-term (20–52 weeks) trial on the effect of additional treatment with acarbose, 100 mg thrice daily, on postprandial glycaemic and gastroentero-pancreatic hormone responses. Patients were assessed before, during, and after the trial period with identical 2.2-MJ mixed test meals plus placebo or 100 mg acarbose; sulphonylurea therapy was continued throughout.
