Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The principal objective was to determine if the administration of small doses of Acarbose could prevent or delay the appearance of Type 2 DM in a population of subjects with impaired glucose homeostasis.

    The main criterion for the evaluation of the primary objective was the proportion of diabetic subjects after three years of treatment and another time after three months of wash-out with placebo.

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Regression to the normality (NO impaired glucose homeostasis)

    Proportion of subjects that had regressed to normality after three years of treatment.

  • Evolution of the cardiovascular risk markers (microalbuminuria, triglycerides, fasting glycaemia, after overload glycaemia, HbA1c, C-peptide, insulinemia)

    Three years and three months.

  • Evolution of blood pressure

    Three years and three months.

  • Evolution of lipid profile

    Three years and three months.

  • Evolution of anthropometric measurements

    Three years and three months. (BMI)

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

  • Existence of one or more of the following risk factors:
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) \> 27 mg/Kg2
  • One or more family members with diabetes determined by anamnesis.
  • Personal antecedents of previous blood glucose anomalies (gestational diabetes reverted after the lactation time, before-during surgical stress, fasting glycaemia \> 110 mg/dL (6,1 mM) and \< 126 mg/dL (7 mM) registered in the Clinical History during the last 3 years, etc.)

  • Subjects taking a prohibited drug (see protocol)

  • Serum creatinine \> 2 mg/Dl
  • Fasting triglycerides \> 10 mm/L (\> 885 mg/dL)
  • AST elevation \> 2.5 times above the upper limit of normal
  • Subjects with hyper/hypothyroidism non compensated

  • Subjects with any emotional disorder or substance abuse (e.g. severe depression, alcohol or drug abuse)
  • Hypersensitivity to Acarbose
