Abstract
In spite of its intensification, conventional insulin therapy is often not effective in limiting the postprandial glycemia excursions to planned areas. The practical problem entailed by this served as the motivation for a double-blind, crossover study aimed at determining the influence of acarbose on glycemia, glucosuria, and several tolerability indices in 39 insulin-dependent diabetics.
