acarbose

An oral medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes. Acarbose slows down the digestion of foods high in carbohydrate, such as rice, bread, milk, and fruit. The result is a slower and lower rise in blood glucose throughout the day, especially right after meals. Acarbose belongs to the class of medicines called alpha-glucosidase inhibitors.
