There is an error in the text on page 19:
“Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors are infrequently used in the treatment of T2DM.3 These agents competitively inhibit the absorption of alpha-glucosidase along the brush border of the small intestine, which slows gut absorption of carbohydrates and ultimately reduces post-prandial blood glucose.34–36” should read as “Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors are infrequently used in the treatment of T2DM.3 These agents competitively inhibit the degradation of complex carbohydrates along the brush border of the small intestine, which slows gut absorption of metabolized carbohydrates and ultimately reduces post-prandial blood glucose.34–36”
