title: Effects of two new alpha-glucosidase inhibitors on glycemic control in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
abstract: BAYo1248 and BAYm1099 are two new alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. Postprandial glucose tolerance was significantly improved and postprandial insulin requirements were significantly reduced as compared to placebo after breakfast and lunch when 20 mg BAYo1248 were administered prior to breakfast and after breakfast, lunch and dinner when 50 mg BAYm1099 were given prior to all three main meals. Postprandial breath H2 concentrations were mildly increased when these alpha-glucosidase inhibitors were given and no patient complained of any adverse effects (such as flatulence, abdominal pain or diarrhea). BAYo1248 and BAYm1099 might be useful adjuncts to insulin in the treatment of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
