The Effects of Normobaric Hypoxia on Blood Glucose Levels.
- Conditions
- Glucose
- Registration Number
- NCT01302782
- Lead Sponsor
- Mike O'Callaghan Military Hospital
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this research study is to observe whether there is a change in blood glucose levels in response to a 2 hour oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) during acute normobaric hypoxia (short term low oxygen levels at normal ambient air pressure).

Name Time Method Change in glucose levels at altitude 1 year Subjects will be placed on a Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device (ROBD2) to simulate 3 different altitudes at three separate and distinct time periods (ground, 8,000 feet and 12,000 feet) then obtain c-peptide and 2-hour OGTT to determine blood glucose changes during acute normobaric hypoxia.
