Acarbose slows the digestion of carbohydrates in the body, which helps control blood sugar levels. Acarbose is used to treat type 2 diabetes.

Tradjenta (linagliptin) is an oral diabetes medicine that helps control blood sugar levels. It works by regulating the levels of insulin your body produces after eating. Tradjenta is used together with diet and exercise to treat type 2 diabetes. Tradjenta is not for treating type 1 diabetes. Do not use Tradjenta if you are in a state of diabetic ketoacidosis (call your doctor for treatment with insulin).
