'Diabetes is a condition of disordered glucose metabolism.'The main source of glucose in the body comes from the digestion and hydrolysis of dietary carbohydrates.'The digestive enzymes pancreatic alpha-amylase and the intestinal alpha glucosidases are responsible for digesting carbohydrates to form glucose. 'Inhibition of these enzymes and hence the inhibition of glucose formation could contribute to the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes.'
