Which of the following antidiabetic medication works by inhibiting carbohydrate breakdown?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A CD4 count of 180 cells per cubic meter is considered very low -- typically an indicator that the patient has an immunocompromised state, such as AIDS. CD4 counts are a measure of healthy T-cell levels. The lower the count, the more susceptible the patient is to opportunistic infections. A normal range is between 500 and 1,500 cells.

Sitagliptin, the DPP-4 inhibitor? That one increases incretin levels, not carbohydrate breakdown. Looks like I need to brush up on my antidiabetic meds.

Acarbose, the wonder drug that makes you feel like you're eating cardboard. At least it does its job of slowing down carb absorption, right?

Dapagliflozin, the SGLT2 inhibitor? Nah, that one works by increasing urinary glucose excretion, not by inhibiting carbohydrate breakdown. Acarbose is the right choice here.

I thought Metformin was the one that inhibits carbohydrate breakdown, but I guess I was mistaken. Acarbose is the one that does that.

Acarbose, the alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, is the correct answer. It works by slowing down the breakdown of carbohydrates in the gut, delaying their absorption.

I disagree, I believe it's B) Metformin because it works by inhibiting glucose production in the liver.
