Therapeutic approaches to decrease postprandial hyperglycemia include: i) inhibiting the activity of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes, such as α-glucosidase (AGO) and α-amylase (AA), which help to reduce glucose levels going into the blood; ii) increasing insulin production in beta cells; and iii) enhancing insulin sensitivity of cells in tissues (2-6). The gene discussed is INS; the disease is Hyperglycemia.
