Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide - New Role as Blood Glucose Stabilizer?

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01048268
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Gentofte, Copenhagen
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) has a stabilizing function on the blood glucose

Detailed Description

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of GIP on the glucagon secretion during hyper-, eu- and hypoglycemia in healthy volunteers, patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

From this, we will evaluate GIP's role as blood sugar stabilizer.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The difference in glucagon secretion quantified as the difference in plasma glucagon concentration and incremental baseline-subtracted area under the curve (AUC) for plasma glucagon-10, 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60 and 90 minutes at each visit
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The difference between the amount of infused glucose and the insulin responseswill be measured at each visit
