From: Postprandial hyperglycemia as an etiological factor in vascular failure
Comparison of the effects of miglitol and mitiglinide on postprandial glucose and insulin metabolism after meal tolerance testing in patients with mild diabetes mellitus. A pre-specified breakfast was prepared, containing 63.8 g of carbohydrate, 24.6 g of protein, 11.0 g of fat, 1.2 g of sodium and a total of 466 calories. Three months of administration of both agents caused similar improvements in postprandial hyperglycemia, although different patterns of insulin secretion were observed (A). Serum cystatin C levels did not change in the miglitol group, although the levels increased in the mitiglinide group. Miglitol caused a significant decrease in hsCRP levels whereas mitiglinide did not (B).
