GLP-1 Receptor Targeting in Diabetic and Healthy Individuals

Completed
Conditions
Type 1 Diabetes
Interventions
Other: radiolabeled Exendin
Registration Number
NCT01825148
Lead Sponsor
Radboud University Medical Center
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine whether there are differences in pancreatic uptake of the radiotracer between healthy individuals and patients with type 1 diabetes. If T1D patients have a markedly reduced uptake, the compound may be suitable for estimation of pancreatic beta cell mass, i.e. the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.
