Current Primary Outcome Measures
  • Ratio of postprandial maximum concentration (Cmax) of plasma glucose following sucrose load with (Day 1) and without acarbose (Day 0) [Time Frame: within 4 hours after sucrose load] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Ratio of postprandial Area Under the Curve (AUC(0 4)) of plasma glucose following sucrose load with (Day 1) and without acarbose (Day 0) [Time Frame: within 4 hours after sucrose load] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • Cmax of metformin [Time Frame: within 24 hours after dosing] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • AUC(0-tn) of metformin [Time Frame: within 24 hours after dosing] [Designated as safety issue: No]

    Day 0: oral sucrose load (75 g sucrose dissolved in 225 mL water) without loose combination of Acarbose and Metformin; Day 1: oral sucrose load plus single dose of 1 tablet each of a loose combination of Acarbose 50 mg and Metformin 500 mg
  • Active Comparator: Acarbose
    Day 0: oral sucrose load (75 g sucrose dissolved in 225 mL water) without comedication; Day 1: oral sucrose load plus single dose of 1 tablet Acarbose 50 mg
  • Active Comparator: Metformin
    Day 0: oral sucrose load (75 g sucrose dissolved in 225 mL water) without comedication; Day 1: oral sucrose load plus single dose of 1 tablet Metformin 500 mg
