“…Choosing specific diabetes interventions and their roles in treating type 2 diabetes Numerous reviews have focused on the characteristics of the specific diabetes interventions listed below [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. In addition, meta-analyses and reviews have summarised and compared the glucose-lowering effectiveness and other characteristics of the medications [35][36][37].…”

“…They are less effective in lowering glycaemia than metformin or the sulfonylureas, reducing HbA 1c levels by 0.5-0.8 percentage points [29]. Since carbohydrate is absorbed more distally, malabsorption and weight loss do not occur; however, increased delivery of carbohydrate to the colon commonly results in increased gas production and gastrointestinal symptoms.…”

“…The inhibition of alpha-glycosidase activity would therefore be an effective approach to control hyperglycemia (Matsui et al, 2007). Acarbose, Voglibose, and Migritol, specific pancreatic alpha-glycosidase inhibitors, are used clinically to prevent hyperglycemia (van de Laar et al, 2005). There has recently been an increased interest in natural and nutraceutical products for diabetes control.…”

“…DPP-IV rapidly destroys the incretin hormones, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP). These peptides are members of the glucagon peptide superfamily that helps the body produce more insulin when it is needed [1,[7][8][9][10][11].…”
