Popis: Objective: Acarbose, a potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, provides a new concept for the treatment of metabolic disorders, and particularly diabetes mellitus. It reduces the postprandial blood glucose increment and insulin response. For this reason the drug has been successfully used not only in the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but also in the management of reactive hypoglycemia and dumping syndrome. The primary aim of the present study is to evaluate the long-term effect of acarbose in reducing hypoglycemic symptoms and influencing laboratory measurements in patients with the diagnosis of reactive hypoglycemia. Design and Methods: 21 non-obese (BMI
