Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Glucose Reduction by Early Acarbose treatment in basal Insulin

Trial purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acarbose in comparison with voglibose in type 2 diabetic patients whose blood glucose levels were inadequately controlled with insulin glargine alone or in combination with metformin.
