Abstract
We all know well that during the last 30 years not a single new medication has been discovered which would present a mode of action different from that the established medications for the therapy of diabetes mellitus. It is characteristic that postprandial hyperglycemia in type I diabetics is particularly difficult to compensated since the increase of blood glucose cannot by synchronized with the high levels of exogenously administered insulin.
