Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors prevent absorption of

Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors prevent the absorption of carbohydrates in the intestines by inhibiting the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, which is responsible for breaking down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. This leads to a slower and reduced rise in blood glucose levels after meals, making these inhibitors useful in managing type 2 Diabetes. By delaying carbohydrate absorption, they can help improve overall glycemic control.
