INTRODUCTION: Excessive postprandial (pp) glucose excursion in people with IGT and type 2 diabetes is associated with a cascade of proatherogenic events. Acarbose, a potent competitive inhibitor of alpha-glucosidases of the small intestine specifically reduces pp hyperglycemia with an average reduction of HbA1c by 0.8% in Cochrane metaanalysis. This is associated with pleiotropic effects on a broad spectrum of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors: reduction of overweight, lowering of blood pressure, triglycerides, hsCRP, fibrinogen and other biomarkers of low grade inflammation.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Flow mediated vasodilation was improved and progression of intima media thickness was reduced by acarbose. In the STOP-NIDDM trial in people with IGT acarbose decreased the incidence of diabetes by 36%. The STOP-NIDDM trial with CV events as secondary objective is the only intervention trial in people with IGT so far with a significant benefit for CV disease inclusive hypertension. In a metaanalysis of controlled studies (MeRIA) in patients with type 2 diabetes, treatment with acarbose was associated with a 64% lower rate of myocardial infarction and 35% less CV events.
CONCLUSION: Thus results so far available prove that acarbose is an effective and safe drug to treat abnormal glucose tolerance. They suggest that acarbose can help to control a broad spectrum of CV risk factors and may prevent CV disease.
